Judith Thompson Casebook

Abstract

In CTR 71 (Interrogating Theatrical Practice), I Richard Paul Knowles called for an ongoing dialogue about the material conditions which inform the process, performance and perception of theatre. Several subsequent issues, notably CTR 78 (Acting Training), CTR 82 (Creative Economies), CTR 84 (Canadian Theatre Artists Speak), and CTR 87 (Practising Canadian Dramaturgy), have focused on the practice of artists in our theatre. This issue, the first in CTR’s history devoted to the work of one playwright, continues this exploration with a casebook on Judith Thompson, featuring an inside look at the writer’s process and collaboration with actors in the workshop of Sled, her latest play.
