[Candrama] Seeking information: Ian Fellows, Ottawa, 1950s

[Toby Malone]

Hello all -

A renaissance colleague of mine in Australia has sent me a question about an Ottawa theatre artist I’m not familiar with, so I thought I would forward his question to the list.  If anyone has any insight into Ian Fellows, active in Ottawa at least in the 1950s, please contact David directly on mcinnisd at unimelb.edu.au <mailto:mcinnisd at unimelb.edu.au>.

Many thanks!
Toby

> Hope you're well. I'm hoping -- longshot -- you might be able to point me in the right direction... I'm trying to find out more about a guy named Ian Fellows who was active in Ottawa in the 1950s; a 1953 production of Old Fortunatus by the University of Ottawa Drama Guild, directed by Jack McCreath, used a text produced by Fellows.
