The Rez Sisters: A Play in Two Acts

This was a really dramatic play that expressed many issues that many people would never talk about in a book. It dealt with rape, death and solidarity among Native women. When it was assigned in my first year English class, I was not sure what to think before I read it. After I read it I found that it was one of the best plays that I have ever read and gives new insight into the Native culture in Canada.

perhaps reading this play would be a bit more enjoyable of the main characters weren't dropping F-bombs every other word. as it is, highway manages to write a story about a bunch of bitter, foul-mouthed women who cuss and argue their way to a bingo match. wow. how invigorating.if you want to read a good play, go check out the crucible by arthur miller or a raisin in the sun by lorraine hansberry - not this junk.

Unusual, and amusing little tale of the hopes and dreams of variously related women on a rural Cree Indian reserve in Ontario, Canada, in the 80's. Their quest is - how to win the biggest bingo prize ever - down in the big city - but first...they have to get there...!

Good product

Literarisch kein Highlight, aber ein guter Eindruck der indianischen Reservatskultur im Rahmen eines Theaterstücks.

Beautiful book, the story is one with depth and sadness as well as a profound understanding of the human spirit. Truly an eye opening story to read and to perform as it is a play. It not only shows the damage done to the indigenous peoples on the Reservations but the struggle and desire to change their lot in life, something that transcends race, or cultural background.

As advertised! Proper edition which was important for me.
