Confidentaly Canadian: Questioning Canadian Regionalism
Original language description
The chapter intends to examine the relevance of the term "a contemporary Western-Canadian playwright" from a non-Canadian reader's perspective. Analyzing modern Canadian plays such as Brad Fraser's Unidentified Human Remains and the True Nature of Love,Vern Thiessen's Einstein's Gift, and Brian Drader's Prok, and comparing them to some of their European counterparts such as Michael Frayn's Copenhagen, Roland Schimmelpfennig's Arabian Night, or Patrick Marber's Closer, the major goal of the work is to question and challenge a one-time prominent concept of regionalism as a product of a bygone pursuit of "true Canadianism."
