Book cover for Wollstonecraft, by Sarah Berthiaume

Wollstonecraft

By Sarah Berthiaume

Éditions de Ta Mère (in French only)

“This unique, skillfully constructed play is a ticket into a strikingly strange world. With refreshingly unfettered and masterful style, the author has birthed a modern Frankenstein where creation and procreation issues are shrewdly addressed. This is a funny yet tragic dystopia where outrageously exaggerated capitalism, dehumanization and an insatiable thirst for recognition actively contribute to each character’s distress. This poignant fable reminds us that our aborted desires threaten to thrust us into an unbearable solitude.”

—Peer assessment committee: Madeleine Blais-Dahlem, Antoine Côté Legault and Anne-Marie Olivier
