  • Ep. 40 - Barbara Gordon
    Dec 11 2025

    I first saw Barbara in a Toronto production of The Dining Room. I was completely taken with her performance, her warmth, her clarity. I hoped that I would have the opportunity of working with her, and in 2006 we finally did get to work together — The Arab-Israeli Cookbook provided the opportunity. And I’ve followed her career since then.

    Theatre audiences will know Barbara from her performances in A Doll’s House (Belfry Theatre, Victoria), Calendar Girls (Royal Alex, Toronto/MTC, Winnipeg), Half Life (Tarragon Theatre, Toronto), Criminals in Love/Escape from Happiness (Factory Theatre, Toronto).

    Film and Television audiences will recognize Barbara from Learning to Love Again, Skinwalkers, Hyper Cube, The Boys, Murdoch Mysteries, Best Laid Plans, Little Mosque on the Prairie and Wonderland.

    Brad is among the most produced and prolific Canadian playwrights. Born in Edmonton, he won his first playwriting competition at the age of 17. He hasn’t stopped writing since.

    Unidentified Human Remains and the True Nature of Love, which premiered at Alberta Theatre projects PlayRites in 1989, after being developed by Workshop West (Edmonton), launched an international career with productions that followed in Toronto, New York, Chicago, Milan and London. The play has been translated into many languages and has recently been produced in Athens, Sao Paulo and Buenos Aires. The film version, Love and Human Remains, won Brad a Genie Award in 1994 for Best Adapted Screenplay.

    Brad’s two musicals are Outrageous (composed by Joey Miller) and Prom Night of the Living Dead (composed by Darrin Hagen).
