The Unknown Country is a shoestring celebration of Canadian theatre, run on a wing, a prayer and gallons of coffee by two expat women, actresses Virginia Roncetti of Toronto and Anne Fizzard of Newfoundland. Co-presented by the Playwrights Guild of Canada, the series showcased three readings of works by rising Canadian playwrights. The WorkShop Theater Company, which runs the Jewel Box, donated the space.
