Published for the first time this month, The Canvas Barricade by Donald 
Jack --a two-act comedy about a young artist's rejection of the 
materialistic values of 1960s Ontario-- was the first original Canadian 
play performed at the Stratford Festival, in 1961, where the cast included 
Peter Donat, Kate Reid, Jack Creley, Amelia Hall, Zoe Caldwell, and Bruno 
Gerussi.

Donald Jack was the author of dozens of stage plays, radio dramas, and TV 
scripts for CBC shows such as Playdate, General Motors Presents, Hatch's 
Mill, The Unforeseen, and McQueen. He won the Leacock Medal on three 
occasions for his Bandy Papers novels, about a Canadian First World War 
aviator.
