Pollock is nationally and internationally respected for her work and support of the theatre community. She has also played a major role in informing Canadians about the dark side of their history and current events. This collection, comprised entirely of new and original assessments of her work and contribution to theatre, is both timely and long overdue. Includes a new play titled Sharon's Tongue by the Playing with Pollock Collective With contributions by: Kathy K. Y.
