The plays include 'Street Theatre' by Bread & Puppet Theatre; 'The Red Emma Project' a bilingual adaptation of the play by the noted American historian, Howard Zinn; 'The Haymarket Affair,' by the Californian author , L.M. Bogad, 'Lacrymos : Have you ever cried for political reasons?' by Montréal author, Francis Dupis-Deri, and 'Overdale,' by Norman Nawrocki.

The four nights of readings and productions range in length, theme, and style, but all are either written by anarchist writers, or with anarchist content. Each will present either anti-State, anti-capitalist, anti-sexist, anti-Empire, or anti-authoritarian positions.
North America's first ever festival of anarchist theatre, the event is part of Montreal's annual 'Festival of Anarchy' that leads up to the city's 7th annual Anarchist Bookfair, May 20 and 21, 2006 - the largest anarchist event on the continent.
