Ăber dieses Buch
Four short plays by one of Canada's exciting, new theatre voices.
In The Russian Play, the flower-shop girl tells the story of her love for the gravedigger. Essay casts a teaching assistant in the shadow of his professor as they argue the merits of a female student's paper. In USSR, a young woman relates her journey to Canada from Russia, and Mexico City follows Henry and Alice on their vacation in 1960. These four plays bring each character to life in full colour, jumping off the page before you and onto the stage.

ESSAY
SCENE ONE
A small office on campus. An open laptop sits on a desk amidst piles of papers, files and books. The greenish hue of fluorescent lighting fills the room. Lights up on JEFFREY, behind the desk, and PIXIE, in front of it.
JEFFREY Just, uh, please take a seat while I finish this paragraph and then Iâll leave off.
PIXIE Am I early� Or�
JEFFREY No, no, just finishing up, just finishing up.
JEFFREY closes his laptop.
Now. Essay proposal, is that right? Essay due on the eighteenth?
PIXIE Thank you for letting me come andâ
JEFFREY No, please. Just remind me. I rejected your proposal, is that�
PIXIE Uh, yes, you did, butâ
JEFFREY Right. Good. Well, my notes are vague sometimes, and my handwriting is very bad, so before you raze the field, we might as well take a closer look at it.
PIXIE (getting out her essay proposal) Okay, great, um, well what I wanted toâ
JEFFREY Itâs usually just a question of coming up with an alteration that will render itâ
PIXIE âum, okayâ
JEFFREY âmore precise, more scholarly.
PIXIE Okay. Thatâs what I wanted to talk to you about.
JEFFREY Good. Yes. Letâs talk!
PIXIE Your objections, because IâI think I can make an argument for this essay proposal.
JEFFREY This one?
PIXIE Yeah.
JEFFREY This essay proposal?
PIXIE Yes?
Beat.
JEFFREY Ah. I see. Youâve come to contest.
PIXIE Or at least I just wanted toâ
JEFFREY To make your case, is that it?
PIXIE IâI just think thatâthat itâs possibleâthat itâs possible to argue, I mean if the problem is just sourcing.
JEFFREY Let me take a look at it, can I?
PIXIE hands him the essay proposal.
Letâs just see what weâve got here before we⊠(laughs)⊠have it out.
Beat.
PIXIE (waiting, shifting) Ifâif you read the notes you madeâŠ
JEFFREY holds out his hand to indicate to PIXIE that she should give him a minute to finish reading.
Beat.
JEFFREY (scanning) Elizabeth Farnese. Strategies of, important contributions to. Summary, summary, more summary. Look. What youâve got here is very interesting. A very interesting historical figureâ
PIXIE Yeah, well I thoughtâ
JEFFREY âwho no doubt deserves moreâŠ. An argument could be made that this is an oversight. The historical record has failed to illuminate this neglected but highly engaging corner of European history.
PIXIE Unhunh, wellâ
JEFFREY Hoards of insensitive historians have obscured a very important character, as it were.
PIXIE Yeah, wellâ
JEFFREY And she is worthy, entitled to, a second glance, now, in our modern era. However, that saidâ
PIXIE Unhunh.
JEFFREY âthat said, Iâm not sure that for the purposes of this first year course itâsâitâsâif there would be enough material to support a ten-page essay on the topic.
PIXIE Yeah, butâ
JEFFREY Ten pages. Youâll need more than a cursoryâ
PIXIE Yeah.
JEFFREY âmore than a brief mention in a largerâ
PIXIE Yeah, I have. I have plenty of materia...
