The plays in the first volume date from 1967 to 1991, and outline an indigenous Canadian drama emerging from its colonial roots to celebrate a rising nationalism. But more to the point, the plays in this edition carry with them a distinct flavour of adventurousness in a juxtaposition that is strikingly, even wildly, various--plays that can only be said to cohere around the difficulty of amorphous notions such as social justice, cultural belonging and the existence of a collective past. \u003ci\u003eModern Canadian Plays \u003c\/i\u003econtinues to stand as the standard anthology for Canadian drama--for good reason. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe plays in Volume One include: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Ecstasy of Rita Joe\u003c\/i\u003e, George Ryga (1967)\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLes Belles Soeurs\u003c\/i\u003e, Michel Tremblay (1968)\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLeaving Home\u003c\/i\u003e, David French (1972)\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSticks and Stones (The Donnellys, Part One)\u003c\/i\u003e, James Reaney (1973)\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eZastrozzi\u003c\/i\u003e, George F.
