When audiences leave a show, it’s common to hear them chatting about how much they loved a production or making special note of which moments were their favorite. The conversation following a showing of “Canadian Gothic” and “American Modern” is more nuanced; you’ll be wondering at the reasoning behind artistic choices, or explaining your interpretation of the work and its structure, comparing and contrasting your analysis with your guest.

In both plays, McClelland Glass gives the audience a glimpse of the lives of small, remote townspeople, filled with mundane chores and repetition. Canadian Gothic, set in a town in Saskatchewan, McClelland Glass’s home province, depicts the couple’s apathy, followed by the wife’s death and their daughter’s interracial dating. These events lead to a violent incident that determines the characters’ future, contrary to their expectations or wishes. In American Modern, the wife copes with her depression by consuming herself with super-busy, mundane tasks. Her additional coping mechanism includes scavenging and holding what she discovers in her neighborhood. In both plays, the husband character is quite passive and unfeeling (or he tries to suppress his feelings), as many of us do—“do nothing.”
