Presentation Title:
"Theatre in Quebec: Why? And Two Musicals"

Overview:
This illustrated lecture will open with introductory remarks on why we
should bother to care about culture in the time of Covid, and on the place
of theatre in particular, as a socio-political force in Quebec. Then, as
demonstrations of such force -- and as upbeat musical interludes -- two
satirical musical theatre productions will be introduced from the annals of
English-language theatre in Quebec: "My Fur Lady" (1957) and "Anglo! The
Musical" (1984). It will be argued that these productions index the
demographic and political situations of anglophone Quebeckers at the time
and reveal key fault-lines and alliances for the community.

Presenter's Short Bio:
Dr. Erin Hurley is Professor of Theatre Studies at McGill University and
Past President of the Canadian Association for Theatre Research. She has
published in the areas of Quebec theatre, national performance, affect
theory, and Canadian Studies. Most recently, she collaborated on the first
book to cover the history of theatre in Quebec - "Le theatre contemporain
au Quebec" from les Presses de 'Universite de Montreal. Her current
research project is a critical history of English-language drama and
theatre in Quebec, 1930-2010.
