A Party to Murder
Marcia Kash and Doug Hughes

in the window seat and a twenty-five-year-old unsolved mystery twist and turn toward

 A Few Words Will Do
Lionel Kearns
When a person writes "this is what happened, this is what I remember, this is what I saw, this is what I know," any reader stands in for and thereby becomes the absent "I" or "eye" of that written text. The deconstruction of this process of language, metaphor, is what preoccupies Lionel Kearns in A Few Words Will Do. Softcover, 128 pp. $16.95.
 Unity (1918)
Kevin Kerr
As fear of the dreaded "Spanish flu" begins to fill the town of Unity with
paranoia, drastic measures are taken. The town is quarantined, trains are forbidden
to stop, and mail from overseas is gathered and burned. But when the disease descends
upon the town despite these precautions, the citizens begin to turn to each other
as they attempt to find a scapegoat for the crisis. M-3, F-6 128 pp. $16.95.
 Miracle Mother
Deborah Kimmett
What happens when a professional woman finds out she's pregnant and delivers a little
girl only six months into her pregnancy? Miracle Mother is a play about premature
birth and neonatal care, but it is also a heartfelt and wickedly funny look at the
entire birth experience, especially as reflected in the mother-daughter relationship.
M-2, F-3. 91 pp. $12.95.
 Bathory
Moynan King
King's hit play blends gothic wonder with black humour to create
a lively portrait of the 17th century's most successful mass murderer
-- a portrait that disturbingly parallels contemporary culture's obsession
with power, female sexuality, and the lure of magic. F-4. 80 pp. $16.95.
 Rice Boy
Sunil Kuruvilla
In front of a house in India, 16-year-old Tina learns the ancient art of kolam from
her grandmother, in preparation for her marriage to a man she has never met. In front
of a house in Canada, Tina's cousin Tommy, sits in a tree, trying to make sense of
his heritage. As the stories of Tina and Tommy become more intertwined, a pattern
of quiet rebellion and enduring love between generations and cultures emerges. M-5,
F-4 Softcover 76 pp. $15.95.
