<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>Despite its title, there is a most interesting,
humourous and non-Toronto centric review of <EM>Establishing Our Boundaries:
English-Canadian Theatre Criticism</EM>, by playwright and sometime-theatre
critic Frank Moher, published in the July 22 <EM>National
Post</EM>.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>Moher expresses surprise at the "lively and
capacious" nature of the book: "Lively, because this collection of
essays reviewing Canadian theatre reviewing since the early 19th century, as
well as the peccadilloes of its practitioners, is written entirely by academics;
if one doesn't expect good writing from critics, one expects downwright tedious
writing from professors. But there is only a little of that here. Capacious,
because Wagner has included contributions from writers on the subject of critics
from across the country, which ought to be second-nature in Canadian cultural
journalism, but rarely is."</FONT></DIV>
