Although both Voices From the Landioash and stars ill the sky morning showcase the drama of Newfoundland and Labrad or, the volumes differ significantly in focus. Both texts have been prepared and are introduced with critical rigour and a sincere commitment to the material and artists involved. However, with one exception, all the plays in Voices From the Lunduiasltare works of single authorship. Conversely, stars in the sky morning features the products of the Collective tradition that has had such a strong influence on Newfoundland theatre. The two anthologies are thus highly complementary and combine toillustr ate the breadth and frequent richness of an intense and doggedly independent theatrical tradition.
