About
the Book:
Refractions: Scenes is
a collection of scenes from diverse contemporary works by Canadian
playwrights that reflect the country's artistic landscape through a
breadth of themes, styles, regions, and creative practices.
Refractions: Scenes is
the hotly anticipated follow-up to Refractions: Solo,
a collection of monologues also edited by Donna-Michelle
St. Bernard and Yvette
Nolan. This
collection can be used both as a scene source for actors and
students, or as a primer on diverse Canadian theatre and an entry
point into new works, many of which are not yet widely available.
Includes scenes by Carmen Aguirre, Reneltta Arluk, Leah Simone
Bowen, George Boyd, Dionne Brand, Raes Calvert, Marjorie Chan, Marie
Clements, Lisa Codrington, Carrie Costello, Mike Czuba, Michaela di
Cesare, d-lishus, Audrey Dwyer, Joel Fishbane, Patti Flather, Linda
Gaboriau, Ahmed Ghazali, Anosh Irani, Frances Koncan, Mishka Lavigne,

Mouawad, Colleen Murphy, Ciarán Myers, Sean Harris Oliver, Gilles
Poulin-Denis, Christine Quintana, Anusree Roy, Rob Salerno, Bobby

The works are about ten minutes in length each, containing 3-7
characters.
