A gripping play by an award-winning playwright, Liar examines the power and influence of human interaction and the perils of assumption. Mark is a young man who is anything you want him to be?a chameleon. He can be a friend, lover, thief, or confidante?but could he be a murderer? Jeremy meets Mark in a gay bar, and, shortly after, the two men end up on the roof of an office building where Jeremy mysteriously falls to his death. But did he jump, did he fall or was he pushed? After the "accident," Jeremy's estranged sister befriends Mark, hoping to establish a relationship with the person she assumes is her brother's lover. Effortlessly gaining her confidence, he insinuates himself into her life and her home. At first her husband resists Mark's charms, but soon he, too, is brought under the spell of the mysterious drifter. After knowing the brother only a matter of hours, Mark has charmed them all into telling him secrets they haven't even told each other, with shocking results.

Where is Here? is the first volume of two anthologies that are the result of a proposal call issued by CBC Radio's Sunday Showcase for plays dealing with an immigration theme. The first six plays are: Raj Kumari's Lullaby, by Rishma Dunlop, a play set in British Columbia and Quebec's Eastern Townships that charts a Punjabi-Canadian woman's coming of age; Crossing Gibraltar by Ehab Lotayef, a fascinating look at the life a man has lived by immigrating to Montreal, and the life he might have lived had he remained in Egypt; Wanderers, by Marco Micone and translated by Sheila Fischman, traces a teenage boy's visit to his ancestral village in Italy where his questions arouse disturbing memories and questions for his grandfather; Joy Geen (See You Again), by John Ng, in which a Canadian family must decide whether or not to risk sheltering their Chinese God-sister who has entered the country illegally; Entry Denied by Sugith Varughese is a period drama about the attempt to prevent 376 Indian immigrants aboard the Komagata Maru from landing in Vancouver, 1914; and, Couscous, by Guillaume Vigneault and translated by Jon Van Burek, explores the decisions a single mother must make when engaging in a new relationship with her daughter's soccer coach.

Orchidelirium is a hothouse hybrid of fact and fiction, research and hypothesis, scent and sex. The name of the flower itself is derived from the Greek word â "òorchisâ" meaning testis. Through their resemblance to human and animal sexual organs, orchids were thought to stimulate lust. In fact, it was long believed that the flowers sprang from the spilled semen of mating animals. For the Victorian Alice O'Keefe, who established one of America's great collections of orchids (before venturing into flora introduction), the delirium leads to environmental disaster. For Frances O'Keefe, the hothouse her ancestry built and which she fiercely protects, will once again fill with the flower of legend&#151and orchidelirium.
