REBECCA: The Voice of Hope and Rescue in the Play The Unnatural and Accidental Women

Abstract

The Unnatural and Accidental Women (2005) is one of the most provocative and revolutionary play written by the Metis playwright Marie Clements. The play is based on the real-life events that occurred in Canada. The indigenous women were murdered in the streets of Canada. They were often ignored by the society. The death of these women had no impact and it was treated with indifference. The Canadian Metis playwright Marie Clements raised the issue of violence against the indigenous women in this play. The play blends reality with the technique of surrealism. The playwright has successfully employed the style of heteroglossia in the play.
