During that time it has produced some shining moments, some unforgettable characters, and some great stories: how two visionaries, Tom Hendry and John Hirsch, convinced Manitoba to embrace a theatre centre that became a model for the rest of the world, how Prairie Theatre Exchange inspired Manitobans to create their own theatre, how Nellie McClung used theatre to help women get the vote, and how a fire at the first theatre event in Winnipeg almost destroyed the whole town.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eFrom Fire to Flood\u003c\/i\u003e explores how Manitoba theatre got to where it is today, and why it didn't go somewhere else. It examines Manitoba theatre from its beginnings, placing theatre in its social and historical context. A key question is how our theatrical past can help us complete the final piece of the puzzle: a unified, indigenous theatre that explains us to ourselves and to the rest of the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kevin Longfield\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0921833792\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780921833796\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Signature Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/07\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.98lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.04h x 6.06w x 0.71d","brand":"Kevin Longfield","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48742348914943,"sku":"9780921833796","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/from-fire-to-flood-kevin-longfield-9780921833796","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
