The
Collected Radio Drama of Marie-Claire Blais
plays by Marie-Claire Blais
translated, and with an introduction, by Nigel Spencer
Best known for her novels, Mad Shadows, A Season in
the Life of Emmanuel,These Festive Nights, and Thunder
and Light, among many, many more, Marie-Claire Blais has also
been very productive as a dramatist, writing many plays for the
radio and the stage. Mostly written for the French-language Radio
Canada in the late 1970s and early 1980s, these plays show another
side of Marie-Claire Blais' talent; they explore, in multiple
voices, themes that also appear in her fiction and poetry: a shattered
emotional, intellectual, and psychological landscape, although
not devoid of hope.
Plays included in this volume are Vanished, Invader,Two
Fates, Murmurs, Garden in the Storm, A Couple,The
Exile, and Fever.
