Wild Theatre: The History of One Yellow Rabbit

Wild Theatre: The History of One Yellow Rabbit is a breezy, irreverent chronicle of the company considered by many to be English Canadas foremost creation theatre. In its romp through the companys twenty year history, the book also documents OYRs friends and collaborators puppet master Ronnie Burkett, playwrights Daniel MacIvor and Brad Fraser, and comedians Bruce McCulloch and Mark McKinney of the Kids in the Hall. There are also guest appearances by everyone from Beat poet Michael McClure to New York performance artists Karen Finley and Penny Arcade. At the heart of the book, however, is the story of an unlikely troupe of artists with diverse talents and shared tastes who have forged a unique style of physical theatre away from the worlds cultural centres, combining a western entrepreneurial spirit with a creative imagination and edginess that defy Albertas conservative image.
