The Oxford Companion to Canadian Theatre

By University Professor Emeritus of English Eugene Benson

In the past twenty-five years there has been an extraordinary growth in Canadian theatre. Today more than 200 professional theatre companies span the country, and Canadian plays are produced around the world. The Oxford Companion to Canadian Theatre is the first reference book to document the growth and development of Canadian drama and theatre-in English and French-from the ritual ceremonies of its native people to the present day. The result of almost four years' work, which was conducted with the assistance of an advisory board drawn from various regions of the country, the Companion is a definitive reference book that offers a mine of fascinating information for all readers interested in theatre. There are 184 illustrations and a comprehensive index that provides easy reference to the details of Canadian theatre. This Companion will be the cornerstone of its history for a long time to come.
