Hi Rebecca,
Here are my faves:

Carmen Aguirre: The Refugee Hotel
Marie Clements: The Unnatural and Accidental Women Linda Griffiths: The Age
of Arousal Anne Marie MacDonald: Goodnight Desdemona, Good Morning Juliet
Sonja Mills: The Danish Play Beatriz Pisano: Madre Sharon Pollock: Blood
Relations Judith Thompson: Lion in the Streets

and perhaps not known as a playwright but also Margaret Atwood: The
Penelopiad

Thanks for asking -- always good to review what we like!
Aida

Hello Everyone,

I posed this question on the Canadian Theatre Research and Performance
Facebook page, but I thought I would send it out here as well:


What are your favourite large cast (6 or more characters) plays by Canadian
women?



I ask because Equity and Diversity in the Arts at UTSC and Equity in Theatre
(EIT) <http://www.eit.playwrightsguild.ca/> are spearheading P.L.E.D.G.E (a
Production Listing for Enhancing Diversity and Gender Equity). Our first
major project is the creation of a database of large-cast Canadian plays by
women. The database will help students, educators, and others find and
familiarize themselves with a rich selection of work by Canadian women
playwrights that can be included in curriculum and/or selected for mainstage
production; a necessary endeavour, since only 17% of the works produced on
our university and college mainstages are written by women (Hansen and
Elser).



Any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated! Thank you!



Rebecca
