Ecstasy of Rita Joe Rough Structurally,
By "lilylioness" (Toronto, Ontario) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ecstasy Of Rita Joe (Paperback)
This play, though filled with poignant messages about the state of Native Canadian societies, is very rough structurally. There are great uses of light, and the setting Ryga proposes is excellent, but the play itself is so rough and deliberate that it is a less-than-pleasant read. It was written in 1967, so though perhaps groundbreaking in its time, this play is not really one to read for enjoyment alone.
1.0 out of 5 stars
A strong message lost in a weak story.,

This review is from: Ecstasy Of Rita Joe (Paperback)
The plight of Native people is well documented and raw in it's presentation, but the story is dull and repetitive. There's no emotional connection with the tragic characters, there is very little story to hold your interest and it was dismally difficult to get through this poor play. If you're looking for a good play, try "Goodnight Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet)" by Margaret Ann MacDonald.
