Hello Candram:





Wondering if you could help. I'm trying to put together a reading list of Canadian biographical dramas for a first year course. That is plays that are based on real person(s) from history.




I have a few but would love to get more. Here's what I've come up with off the top of my head.



Bill Bishop goes to war - Eric Peterson

Walsh - Sharon Pollock

It's all true - Jason Sherman

His Greatness - Daniel MacIvor

The Golden Thug - Edward Roy

Cavafy

Pasolini/Pelosi

Capote at Yado

In Which 
Pier Paolo Pasolini Sees His Own Death in the Face of a Boy 

My Night With Tennessee 

More Divine

The Emotionalists - all by Sky Gilbert

Alien Creature: A Visitation from
 Gwendolyn MacEwen

Maggie and Pierre - Linda Griffiths

Detaining Mr. Trotsky by

Robert Fothergill

The Palace at the End - Judith Thompson

Angelique by

Lorena Lillian Gale[
