Literature from another time set another time and place, now disappeared: a bit gothic, a bit surrealist at times; reminds me of that play, "Our Town". The two shorter pieces are very experimental.
I like how he reaches into the rural Canadian experience for some of his symbols, such as the killdeer. And sets the plays in small-town Ontario with all its potential stereotypes, almost Pulcinello like. Both classical and very local.
