Voiceless People was awarded the Grand Prix du Journal de Montreal for Theatre in 1989.
About the author
Editorial Reviews
By adopting the family as his particular area of investigation ... Micone shows finally that the immigrant question is simply a variant of the theme of powerlessness. A subject, suggests Micone, on which women speak with authority.
Sherry Simon
Marco Micone's political analysis and his powerful, often angry presentational style make for very exciting, compelling theatre.
