Description

Compulsive Acts explores the films, plays, and personality of prolific playwright, novelist, film maker, and poet Sky Gilbert through the eyes of a handful of the people who have observed his work closely over the past two decades ? as audience members and arts workers. Actors, academics, performance artists, journalists, film makers, playwrights, poets and his partner of many years tackle his immense output with a queer eye for the intricacies of a unique and astute aesthetic vision ? a vision that has placed him securely within Canadian Theatre history as an iconic and consistently provocative dramatic force to be reckoned with.

Praise for Compulsive Acts: Essays, Interviews, Reflections on the Work of Sky Gilbert (Essential Writers Series #37)

"There are many more plays and many more reviews that this slim volume cannot hope to encounter. What will [Gilbert] come up with next in his ongoing compulsion to say what he thinks about everything under the queer explosive sun" — David Bateman
