A Scent of Flowers by James Saunders was produced and directed by Judith Freiman, in partial fulfilment of the requirements for a Master of Arts degree in the Department of Theatre of the University of British Columbia, at the Frederic Wood Studio Theatre from Wednesday, January 31 to Saturday, February 3, 1968. The following is a detailed record of that production along with the director's analysis and interpretation of the script. A Scent of Flowers was produced on a budget of $300.00 with a three and a half week rehearsal period and had a run of five performances in a theatre seating one hundred three people. The cast was composed of five students and three non-Equity performers. The set was designed by Brian Arnott; costumes, by Susan Gibson. This record is divided into three main sections. The first is an essay which begins with brief biographical information about James Saunders and a short discussion of his recurring basic themes and his style. This is followed by a detailed examination of A Scent of Flowers with particular emphasis on the structure of the play as the basis of the directorial concept. The essay concludes with re-emphasis on the play as an image. The second section is made up of the actual script including inserts and cuts, blocking, significant division into beats, and indicating light, sound, and scenery cues. For each major unit or beat there is a brief analysis which indicates the directorial approach taken in terms of purpose, action, dominant emotions, character dominance, and any difficulties involved. The third section is made up of various tables, records, and illustrations relating directly to the production. Included are the insertions for the mass in Act II and lists of light cues, music cues, properties, costumes, cost lists, and box office reports. Also included are a sample of the program and copies of the press reviews. The illustrations include colour photographs of the production, costume drawings, and finally, blueprints of the floor plan and working drawings. / Arts, Faculty of / Theatre and Film, Department of / Graduate

From its inception in 1881 until its activities were subsumed under the missionary mandate of the United Church of Canada in 1925, the Woman's Missionary Society of the Methodist Church of Canada energetically promoted the Church's gospel of social reform and individual salvation in its far-flung mission fields in West China, in Japan, in Canada's western frontier settlements and its inner-city immigrant ghettos. The Society's agents were 300 single women caretully chosen on the basis of age, educational background, related work experience and spiritual commitment. The thesis argues that these women missionaries, broadly representative of small-town, middle-class, Protestant Canada in the Victorian and Edwardian eras, found in tne W. M. S. an appealing alternative to both domesticity and the limited opportunities for women in secular careers. Nurtured by the structural and political autonomy of the w. M. S within the Methodist Church of Canada, by an aggressive Board of Managers, by the developing sense of sisterhood among the Society's recruits, and by the freedom to act independently according to the circumstances of remote mission fields, missionaries became more than mere proselytizers, social workers and teach9rs. They became professional career women with vested interests in the management, funding, success and rewards of their activities who were ultimately judged as much on the basis of their professional development as on the evidence of their spiritual commitment or their record of conversions. Within this context, career commitment on the part of individual missionaries was dependent on several factors, including educational background, administrative skill and, not least of all, field location. Japan in the throes of industrialization and modernization was the Society's showcase. Its most skilled recruits were sent there; and it is not surprising that the Japanese mission field produced the largest number of life-long employees. The Horne mission field, in contrast, enjoyed the lowest priority for funding and personnel, most of whom were drawn from a group of less skilled recruits for whom mission work was an interlude between school-leaving and marriage. West China, with its litany of political, social and physical hardships, arguably demanded, and produced, a degree of dedication and resoluteness unmatched in the recruits who served elsewhere. At a time when Canadian society was widely debating the related questions of women's proper sphere and the social role of organized Christianity,the w. M. S. created for its women missionaries a separate sphere in which, freed from the sexual politics of both the home and the workplace, they could pursue Christian activism as a fulfilling and rewarding career. / Thesis / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
