WHERE IS KABUKI?

Don Druick
Toronto, Playwrights Canada Press, 1991. 63pp, paper, $9.95

ISBN 0-88754-504-1. CIP

Grades 11 and up/Ages 16 and up
Reviewed by Pat Bolger

Volume 20 Number 1
1992 January


In the author's forward (sic) Druick comments, "My intense involvement with Japanese theatre becomes my central metaphor... (which)... enables the writing of a passion play in the masculine voice."

Readers who lack Druick's knowl­edge of Kabuki and its traditions will not be much involved by this static discussion among the members of a theatre, some determined to preserve tradition, others scheming to turn a profit.

Usefulness in a high school library would be limited to its possible value as a resource for senior students of theatre arts.
