The Plays of CODCO

See all formats and editions

This book presents the texts of five plays, collectively written and performed during the years 1973 to 1976 by the Newfoundland theatre troupe CODCO.

CODCO's satiric plays expose universal perversity, ignorance, prejudice and abuse with the ironic wit of the people of Newfoundland.

The plays are distinguished by their graveyard or gallows humour.

CODCO played an important role in the evolution of Canadian theatre and is an early signifier of Canada's attainment of cultural maturity.

CODCO's current weekly television series commenced broadcasting in 1988.
