Oldies but goodies: two plays from your region?

The debate on _Marsh Hay_ reminded me that there are a lot of interesting
old plays which open a window on life & culture in each region -- exactly
what I am trying to put together for a new Canadian Studies course for
bilingual students.

Can each CANDRAMA member suggest one or two?

I hope for responses from all parts of Canada in which theatre research
oldtimers (which I am not) list just 1 or 2 of their faves. For instance,
I myself would nominate Reaney's _Donnellys_ trilogy which I saw when I
lived in Toronto & Hamilton but I'm not sure what came after -- or before.
Thanks to Lisbie Rae and Guiseppi Verdicchio who have already replied.
