WALKER, Craig – Dan School of Drama and Music, Queen’s University
Craig Walker is recognized internationally for his scholarship in Canadian and world drama. His academic work has been complemented by an extensive career in the theatre as an actor, director and playwright. Accordingly, while his books and articles situate drama within a broad history of ideas drawn from science, philosophy, and literature, at the same time his work carefully reveals the implicit theatrical power of each individual play.

Craig Walker est reconnu internationalement pour son érudition dans le drame canadien et mondial. Son travail académique a été complété par une longue carrière dans le théâtre comme acteur, metteur en scène et dramaturge. En conséquence, alors que ses livres et articles situent le drame dans une large histoire des idées tirées de la science, de la philosophie, et de la littérature, en même temps, son travail révèle soigneusement la puissance théâtrale implicite de chaque pièce de théâtre individuel.
