Includes photos from the Provincial Archives of Alberta along with details of original production choices and stills from the productions.The plays included in the book are Letters from Battle River, The Unmarried Wife, and Respecting the Action for Seduction, co-written by David Cheoros and Karen Simonson, and Firing Lines, written by Debbie Marshall.
