In his concise introduction, Conolly argues that readers and theatregoers, as well as professional critics, can contribute significantly to the development of a vital Canadian theatre: Indeed, it is our responsibility to respond actively to scripts and productions, \"as we respond to all else that truly matters in our lives - with a genuine effort to understand, appreciate, and judge\". Canadian Drama and the Critics encourages the reader to become involved in this process; it is also an enjoyable read that offers an intelligent, wide-ranging overview of modern Canadian plays and playwrights. An ideal companion text to Talonbooks' Modern Canadian Plays Vols. I and II and other anthologies of Canadian drama, Canadian Drama and the Critics also includes detailed production information for the premiere of each play and a comprehensive index.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eL.W.
