Where is the East End? It8217;s where the sun comes up and where you bury the dead. It8217;s where George Walker set six of his plays. It8217;s the East End of Toronto; the Lower East Side of New York; down by the East River; East L.A.; East Vancouver. It8217;s where you get down to the basics of beginnings and endings, and how you get from each of those ends to the other. It8217;s where Walker8217;s settings have 147;come home.8221; From his offer of tenuous hope to the denizens of a city salvaged from the powerful and the greedy in Beautiful City (1987); to his championing of women in Love and Anger (1989); to his explorations of sex and gender issues among three young people in Tough (1993), Walker continues his explorations of characters living in extremity in the arena of a political comedy uniquely his own.
