   _Afterimage_
   Robert Chafe
   978-0-88754-903-8 $16.95

   Set in Newfoundland, _Afterimage_ is a gripping, literally electrifying play
   that addresses “otherness” in a highly original way. The play tackles the
   universal theme of connection through complex, strange characters who we
   immediately care about and whose stories are profoundly moving.

   _Scratch_
   Charlotte Corbeil-Coleman
   978-0-88754-912-0 $16.95

   _Scratch_ is a funny, moving and provocative story of a teenage girl dealing
   with lust, lice and death. As her world crashes down around her, Anna tries
   desperately not to scratch too deeply beneath the surface of her crumbling
   life. Charlotte Corbeil-Coleman brings a fresh new voice to Canadian theatre
   with writing that is brave, bold and highly theatrical.

   _Courageous_
   Michael Healey
   978-0-88754-930-4 $16.95

   In _Courageous_, Michael Healey’s characters grapple with hot button issues
   of Canadian society – the rights and freedoms associated with immigration,
   sexuality and religion. Unconventional in structure and risky in subject
   matter, _Courageous_ is a hilarious comedy that rides on a keel of serious
   social argument.

   _Such Creatures_
   Judith Thompson
   978-0-88754-922-9 $16.95

   In _Such Creatures_, a Holocaust survivor returns to the concentration camp
   where as an adolescent she participated in an uprising. In Toronto’s inner
   city, a teenager prepares for the rite of passage of her first fist fight,
   while searching for her First Nations roots. Both girls are inspired by
   Shakespeare. A brilliant meditation on cruelty.

   _lady in the red dress_
   David Yee
   978-0-88754-907-6 $16.95

   _Lady in the red dress_ is a magic realist, noir comedy about how the
   unhealed wounds of historical wrongs live on in the present. At the centre
   of the story is Canada’s oppression of the Chinese community through
   the _Head Tax and Exclusion Act_. Using a theatrically-daring attack, David
   Yee cross-examines the notions of redress and reconciliation.

   _Forests_
   Wajdi Mouawad, translated by Linda Gaboriau
   978-0-88754-793-5 $18.95

   Linda Gaboriau’s ingenious and inventive translation eloquently carries over
   all the texture and emotional impact of Wajdi Mouawad’s lyrical play,
   bringing the work to life in English. A highly-accomplished work by a
   literary translator at the height of her talent.
