SIX CANADIAN PLAYS Toronto, Playwrights Canada Press, 1992. 286pp, paper, $14.95, ISBN 0-88754-469-X. CIP Grades 10 and up/Ages 15 and up Reviewed by R. Stoyko Volume 20 Number 5 1992 October This title is an update of Five Canadian Plays (Playwrights Co-op, 1978). The collection contains the following titles: Heroes (1971) by Ken Mitchell, Babel Rap (1972) by John Lazarus, Hurray for Johnny Canuck (1975) by Ken Gass, The Komataga Maru Incident (1978) by Sharon Pollock, Hedges (1985) by Dave Carley and Moon People (1988) by Aviva Ravel. There is a brief editor's foreword and an introduction by Ken Gass. Gass attempts to develop the idea that these plays reflect the Canadian perception of heroes and anti-heroes. This attempt to link the titles is not convincing. The titles represent a variety of styles from absurd through cartoon, ending with Pollock's docu-drama. The text presents a varied sample of contemporary Canadian drama and would be a resource for people who have not previously read these titles. It is suitable for theatre/English students aged fifteen and up as an auxiliary source. R. Stoyko is a senior high drama/English teacher with the Winnipeg School Division in Winnipeg, Manitoba
