Joan Bryans

Most of Joan’s plays seem to be about feisty women battling it out against enormous odds to final victory. Recently she prefers the theatre verbatim style—Two Years in Nicola (two sisters in early Western Canada), Rebel Women (militant UK suffragettes), and most recently Changed Utterly (Constance Markievicz, an Irish rebel in the Easter Rising). She has her own company, Vital Spark theatre, and is President of United Players of Vancouver.
