Description: "Sherrill Grace has written the story of Sharon Pollock's life from her family roots in New Brunswick through her pioneering years as a Canadian playwright to the present as she continues to make theatre. It focuses attention on Pollock's career as a playwright, director, actor, and artistic director, and it places her story in the context of what is the flowering of Canadian theatre - the four decades from 1967 to present. Grace also discusses each of Pollock's major plays and many of their most interesting productions in Canada, as well as their productions in the United States, Japan, and England."--BOOK JACKET.
