A GIFT FOR THEIR MOTHER: The Saidye Bronfman Centre
Theatre. A History
Endorsements
I
found this an absorbing and deftly written account of how an important cultural
institution was created, from scratch, and why it has become an enduring memory
in the minds of Montrealers. Besides reminding us of the plays that graced the
Saidye’s stage over a period of 40 years, Muriel Gold’s book takes us behind
the scenes to witness the artistic squabbles and bureaucratic skirmishes that
are always part of the drama of theatre life.
