About the Book

Modern Canadian Plays is the core text for university-level Canadian drama courses around the world.

Now in its fifth edition, the two-volume Modern Canadian Plays drama series anthologizes major Canadian plays written and performed since 1967. Volume two presents Canadian plays written over the past twenty-five years. These plays respond directly or indirectly to the events of our time; work effectively on the stage, on the page, and in the classroom; and are contextualized with accompanying history, biography, and criticism--all in one place for a reasonable price!

About the Author: Professor of English and theater at the University of British Columbia, Jerry Wasserman has written and lectured widely on Canadian theater, modern fiction, dramatic literature, theater history, and blues music; edited the two-volume anthology Modern Canadian Plays, a standard course text now in its fifth edition; made more than two hundred appearances on stage, film, and television; and served for more than fifteen years as a drama critic on CBC Radio. He is currently the editor of Vancouverplays.com, an informative Web site that provides up-to-date listings and reviews of local theater performances. Wasserman grew up in New York City and attained an M.A. in English from the University of Chicago and a Ph.D. from Cornell, specializing in twentieth-century literature and drama. He started teaching at the University of British Columbia in 1972; though his initial research focus was on fiction, his work in the theater as an actor soon led him to teach mainly drama courses, eventually creating a course in Canadian drama.

In addition to his scholarly accomplishments, Wasserman continues to maintain a busy career as an actor. A seasoned veteran on the Vancouver theater scene, he has also appeared in numerous feature films and major television series.
