It is a pleasure to read." --Moira Day, Department Head of Drama, University of Saskatchewan"Lively and engaging, Jenn Stephenson has produced a compelling and timely interrogation of the 'real', ably and amply illustrated by a strong selection of case studies. This work is illuminating, the breadth and diversity of the performances under investigation alone make this book an important addition to scholarship on Canadian theatre and performance. Insecurity is an original contribution to the contested terrain of putting the 'real' on stage and in front of an audience."--Susan Bennett, Department of English, University of Calgary About the Author Jenn Stephenson is Professor in the Dan School of Drama and Music at Queen’s University.
