Themes in CANDRAMA

[Geraldo Ferreira de Lima]

Hello all:

I'd enjoy a lot if each one of you could relate the
THEME(S)  in the column on the left to one or more Canadian PLAYWRIGHT(S) in
the column of the centre (The more playwrights' names suggested the better)
whose  PLAY(S) in the column on the right discusses/discuss one or more of
these themes. Besides this, any other Theme and its corresponding Playwright
and Play you think it is relevant do be added, please, feel at ease to do
it:
