Abstract

Timothy Findley, one of Canada's best-known writers of fiction, has also made notable contributions to Canadian theatre. His early acting career, his work as a playwright and as a scriptwriter for CBC radio and television have resulted in his participation in several 'firsts' in Canadian theatre history. Findley acted in the inaugural season at the Stratford Festival, was the National Arts Centre's first playwright-in-residence. and wrote the script for CBC Television's first feature-length colour film. As well, Findley's theatre background has had a profound effect on the development of his writing career and on his fictional style. Some of his recent work indicates a renewed interest in writing for the stage.
