Playwrights Canada
  Press
Jason Sherman – Adapt or Die (a collection of four plays)  Playwrights 
Canada Press
Drew Hayden Taylor – In a World Created by a Drunken God – Talonbooks

The juries comments on Playwrights Canada Press titles:

Cash Iron – Lisa Codrington’s Cast Iron is a luminous, one-woman memory 
play, relating the life story of Libya Geraldine Atwell.  Through the 
musicality of Bajan dialect, Libya embodies the many characters who 
shaped her history, from the cane fields of Barbados to her nursing 
home in Winnipeg.  Codrington conveys the tragic story of Libya’s life 
with rich layers of wit and contradiction.

I Still Love You – MacIvor’s anthology of five plays is as impressive 
in its consistency as in its diversity.  His is a compassionate yet 
edgy world view, enlivened by Idiosyncratic humour and honesty, 
exploring unusual theatrical structures in order to throw light into 
both the shallows and the depths of contemporary life.

Adapt or Die: Plays New and Used

Adapt or Die is a collection of four plays inspired by Russian 
masterpieces and infused with sharp wit, political commentary and 
emotional insight.  After the Orchard, the centrepiece of the 
collection, is an original play that captures the dissolution of a 20th 
century family amid a shifting social landscape.
