By Helen Peters
This booklet offers the texts of 5 performs, jointly written and played in the course of the years 1973 to 1976 via the Newfoundland theatre troupe CODCO. CODCO's satiric performs disclose common perversity, lack of knowledge, prejudice and abuse with the ironic wit of the folk of Newfoundland. The performs are individual by means of their graveyard or gallows humour. CODCO performed a massive function within the evolution of Canadian theatre and is an early signifier of Canada's attainment of cultural adulthood. CODCO's present weekly tv sequence began broadcasting in 1988.
