About

David Fancy is a Canadian playwright.

  • "These plays — cutting and comic, intimate and expansive — feature beings and language in states of revolt. They are stories exploring worlds within and beyond worlds, stories that imagine the becoming-cosmic of beauty, justice, love and desire."

Thoughts 

  • About the banned Shotgun Wedding: “We positioned ourselves, David and I, as the Brecht and Weill of the NAFTA generation, and the result was apparently too alienating for the corporate sponsors, who (in previews) demanded a gelded, gilded version to replace it. David held firm, the show was gutted, and our international fame was postponed. Through it all, his integrity and sense of mission was unalterable, and it was all based on protecting the vision of the artists and collaborators. It was the most honorable defeat imaginable.”
