Zusammenfassung:This book is a scholarly edition of the only play banned in Canada for political reasons. The play was banned by the Toronto police after its first performance, banned by the Winnipeg police shortly thereafter, and subsequently banned by the Canadian Post Office. The play can be considered as one stage - the published text - of a meta-text that culminated in 1934 at Maple Leaf Gardens when the (then illegal) Communist Party of Canada celebrated the release of its leader, Tim Buck, from prison.
Beschreibung:This volume comprises a reprinting of the original text as well as a gloss of the 1933 Communist play, which had been written and staged as part of a campaign to free Tim Buck, the leader of the Communist Party of Canada, from prison.
Beschreibung:1 online resource (li, 110 pages) : illustrations, digital file.
