'Oil plays'?

[Anne Nothof]

Hello Karen

Edmonton's Theatre Network developed "Rig" a while back, which is still relevant.

Katherine Koller's most recent play is "Last Chance Leduc" which focuses on a young couple living in rural isolation with different hopes and dreams. Set in 1947, it portrays the personal consequences of the blowing of Leduc #1 at the beginning of Alberta's oil industry. It won the Alberta Playwriting Competition in 2013, and will have a staged reading at the Banff Centre for the Arts in September 2013.

Best,
Anne N.

Hello colleagues, 


I'm wondering if anyone knows of plays or other theatrical responses to the current Prairies oil boom. I have already discovered Karen Hines' wonderful Drama: Pilot Episode from 2012. Are there others? 


Many thanks in advance 
Karen
