Gary Geddes has written and edited more than 50 books of poetry, fiction, drama, non-fiction, criticism, translation, and anthologies and won a dozen national and international literary awards, including the Commonwealth Poetry Prize (Americas Region), the Lt.-Governor’s Award for Literary Excellence, and the Gabriela Mistral Prize from the government of Chile. In addition to Les maudits anglais, produced by Theatre Passe-Muraille and performed at Théàtre d’Aujourdhui, his work has been staged at the University of Winnipeg, dramatized and broadcast separately by both CBC and BBC radio. Falsework was adapted for stage by Christopher Weddell and performed at Canadian School for the Performing Arts; and his most recent work, Norwegian Rabbit, a play about Leon Trotsky on the morning of his assassination, is available for production. The Toymaker, a work-in-progress, explores the struggle between emperor Qin Shihuang and his master potter, the one favouring standardization and uniformity; the other, creative misrule.
