Edited by Anne Nothof, the three plays included this anthology all deal with intercultural issues in Canada with humour, wit and at times, heartbreak. They range from a village idiot in a French Canadian hamlet to arranged marriages to a multiracial relationship that is unhinged once he tells his parents that he is ‘living with a white girl.’
The anthology features biographic details of the contributing playwrights and their work:
- House of Sacred Cows—Padma Viswanathan
- Mom, Dad, I’m Living with a White Girl—Marty Chan
- Elephant Wake—Jonathan Christenson and Joey Tremblay
