Committing Theatre -- Theatre Radicalism and Political Intervention in Canada
(Between The Lines,

$29.95)
Alan Filewod's Committing Theatre begins with a single event from June 1919. Unable to get a response from his government about how the upkeep of city properties are impacting his private garden, a man goes to City Hall and presents the Mayor of Vancouver's secretary with a bouquet of flowers picked from properties that adjoin his. The bouquet is covered with caterpillars.
