The Canadian theatre has seen an extraordinary growth in writing talent and new professional companies in the last two decades. This is the first book accurately to chart its expansion and development from the beginnings to the present day.With some 680 entries including biographies of actors, playwrights, directors, and designers and details of major plays, and such diverse subjects as theatres and companies, collective theatre, ethnic theatre, musical theatre, and radio and television drama, this is a unique and definitive reference work, offering a mine of fascinating information to all readers interested in the theatre.

Bernard Shaw on the American Stage is the first comprehensive study of the production of Bernard Shaw’s plays in America. The book also includes, again for the first time, production data and concise overviews of dozens of the most notable American revivals of the plays, from the 1890s to the beginning of the 2020 pandemic.
