Modern Canadian Plays is the core text for university-level Canadian drama courses around the world. Previous edition published 2002.

Spanning the years 1967 to 2010, the two volumes of this anthology will ultimately include thirty plays with introductions and bibliographies by theatre critic Jerry Wasserman. The plays in the first volume date from 1967 to 1991, and outline an indigenous Canadian drama emerging from its colonial roots to celebrate a rising nationalism.

Arguably the first North American play, this edition includes the original French script, an extensive historical, critical introduction and more.

In Volume II, Wasserman shows us Canadian drama from 1985 to 1997, during which we see women playwrights rise to greater prominence, along with Native, gay, lesbian, and Quebecois playwrights. But, continuing on from Volume I, this selection of plays not only takes us farther into the annals of the lives of the marginalized, it also provides a revealing cultural and philosophical cross-section of late-twentieth-century life in Canada.

This collection of eight of the finest plays produced by Vancouver's New Play Centre marked the company's twentieth year.

This fourth edition contains "The Ecstasy of Rita Joe, " "Fortune and Men's Eyes, " "Les Belle Soeurs, " "Leaving Home" and others.
