His most recent projects are:
Anatomy of Love
(2018) developed through the support of the Sunset Theatre’s Exploration Series.
Daven, a popular sex-ed columnist and Cariboo Gold Rush enthusiast, finds himself thrust back in time, the captive of an aggressive and attractive bounty hunter who is forcing him to either explore his past or face devastating consequences.
An allegory of sorts, Anatomy of Love is a raw, mind-bending science-fiction romp through love and loss that examines society’s enduring fascination with sexual violence and the “Wild West.”
*Exploration Series Dramaturge: Danette Boucher
Sawney’s Legacy
(2020) developed in part through the support of the Sunset Theatre’s Exploration Series.
An Edwardian doctor reflects on the impact that his father, poet James Anderson (of Sawney’s Letters renown), left on him as a young man in Scotland and also on the society of the Cariboo Gold Rush in the 1860s.
Part historical biography, part coming-of-age story, and part family narrative, Sawney’s Legacy “explores moral and practical choices in an historical context with contemporary resonance.”
