Description
Summary:The year 2004 saw the publication of Robert Chafe’s Two Plays: Butler’s Marsh and Tempting Providence and its nomination for a Governor-General’s Literary Award. It also saw Artistic Fraud of Newfoundland’s production of Burial Practices of the Early European Settlers through to Today, Theatre Newfoundland and Labrador’s (TNL) production of Isle of Demons and Stephenville Festival’s commission of Vive la Rose. Finally, it saw the beginning of the international tour of Tempting Providence. Although busy, this was a typical year for playwright/actor Chafe, who, while closely associated with Artistic Fraud, also works regularly with TNL and the Stephenville Festival.
