“One of our most cerebral and subtle playwrights, and almost the only one to specialize in chronicling Canada’s upper classes.”—Ray Conologue, The Globe and Mail[
“Jeffery writes with spare elegance… on the page it looks curiously naked, but on stage it achieves a cool life that is quite entrancing.” —Dave Carley, American Theatre
Note about price: This is a large book and requires costly postage.
The talent of contemporary theatre is varied, distinct, and no dramatist is more singular than Lawrence Jeffery. His roots are Chekovian, a spare language that probes internal violences, particularly among the rich — “a group,” as the Globe and Mail pointed out, “that is almost entirely Jeffery’s own in Canada.”
Lawrence Jeffery was born in Vancouver, lived in Toronto, the Niagara-on-the-Lake, and Guelph – he died on May 15, 2021. His plays have been produced in Canada and the United States. Clay was nominated for the Dora Mavor Moore Award for Best New Play and the Governor General’s Award for Drama; Tower was also nominated for the Dora Mavor Moore Award for Best New Play. Frenchtown Was shortlisted for a Governor General Award for Poetry.
