This brand new edition features the plays that established Sharon
Pollock as a major Canadian playwright and gained her many
accolades, among them, the first ever Governor General's award for
drama for 'Blood Relations' in 1981. In the four plays in this
collection Pollock uses historical backdrops to tackle the issue of
freedom of choice in the midst of physical and emotional
confinement. Her characters are the oppressed, from the spinster
Lizzie Borden in the title play, 'Blood Relations', to the
prisoners of 'One Tiger to a Hill', to Leah, 'chosen'
daughter/mistress of rum runner Mr Big in 'Whiskey Six Cadenza'. In
'Generations', she uses a regional setting of a prairie farm
kitchen to examine the tensions and affections of a family, and
their relationship to 'The Land'. Pollock's skilfully driven action
and keen ear for dialect make for a satisfying read for drama- and
fiction-lovers alike.
