Governor General's Award for French-language drama

Last updated

This is a list of recipients of the Governor General's Award for French-language drama. The award was created in 1981 when the Governor General's Award for French language poetry or drama was divided.

Contents

Because the award is presented for plays published in print, a play's eligibility for the award can sometimes be several years later than its initial theatrical staging. [1] Titles which compile several works by the playwright into a single volume may also be nominated for or win the award.
