Founded in 1963, Playwrights' Workshop Montreal has served the English-Canadian playwriting community for over twenty-five years. An integral but often ignored part of the nationalistic alternative theatre movement, PWM has developed and supported the work of hundreds of English playwrights both within and outside of the Montreal area. / This study examines the work of PWM in an historical context, and as revealed in the organization's records and in contemporary reports. The written documentation is supplemented by interviews with persons who have worked with PWM. A number of these have made important contributions to Canadian dramaturgy on a national scale.
