MacLeod Debuts New Play
The Ring
Department of Writing professor, UVic alumna and 2011 $100,000 Siminovitch Prize winner Joan MacLeod debuted her latest play, The Valley, at the playRites Festival of New Canadian Plays at Alberta Theatre Projects last month. The story of a troubled teenager who has a confrontation with a police officer on Vancouver’s SkyTrain, The Valley was praised by the Globe and Mail as “a subtle work that avoids all the romantic traps that typically ensnare those who write about mental illness.” The Valley will also be staged during the 2013-14 season at Toronto’s prestigious Tarragon Theatre. No local production is planned at this point.
