Sean Dixon

Sean Dixon grew up in a family of twelve — including eight siblings, parents and a grandmother — through several Ontario towns, predisposing him to tell stories about people thrown together in common cause. He was a founding member of the influential Winnipeg theatre collective PRIMUS, had a long-running Toronto hit in 1995 (The Painting), won the audience award at the 1999 Vancouver Fringe (Billy Nothin’), had a novel (The Girls Who Saw Everything) named one of Quill&Quire’s 2007 best books of the year, and was shortlisted for the 2014 Governor General’s Award (A God In Need of Help) and the Alberta 2024 Trade Fiction Book of the Year (The Abduction of Seven Forgers). He has worked extensively for Blyth and the Caravan Farm Theatre, as well as Toronto’s Tarragon. Along with plays and novels, he once wrote a children’s picture book on the theme of adoption called The Family Tree.
