Adaptor 1 Biography
"Quebec -based playwright, born in 1974, usually a creator of young people's theatre with a decidedly raw and some would say bleak outlook.
"M. Choinière studied at the National Theatre School . His first work, Autodafé (1997), was directed by one of the most prestigious directors in the country, André Brassard, and the director went on to act in a subsequent work by the young author, Le Bain des Raines (1998), which was performed at a public bathhouse and was subsequently nominated for a Governor General's Award.
"Two of his works were created in the first half of 1999, Les trains ( Théâtre Le Clou, directed by Benoît Vermeulen ) and Soldats de bois ( Théâtre de la Récidive, within the Festival de Théâtre des Amériques, directed by Jean-Claude Coté).
"In 2000, he launched a summer theatre company dedicated to presenting B-Movie style theatre in the city; he wrote and directed their productions of Tsé-Tsé (2000) and Agromorphobia (2001).
"M. Choinière also writes for radio. He lives in Montreal" (6 Oct. 2002. qtd. from http://www.canadiantheatre.com/dict.pl?term=Oliver%20Choiniere).

Notes
This production was part of a single mutli-authored event coordinated by Théâtre Urbi et Orbi and Théâtre d'Aujourd'hui over five nights. Thirty eight authors, each under the age of thirty eight, were commissioned to create an adaptation of one of Shakespeare's thirty eight plays.

"On attribute a Shakespeare trente-huit pièces. Trente-huite auteurs de moins de trente-huit ans on été réunis autour d'un chapeau contenant le titre de chacune de ces pièces. Après tirage au sort, les auteurs on reçu la consigne d'écrire un texte d'une dizaine de minutes, de se choisire un comédien et de le dirigé. Les autueurs étaient, comment dire?... entièrement, complètement, totalement libres de faire ce qu'ils voulaient de l'oevre. Le résultat est impressionnant. On découvre dans 38: des voix, des imaginaires, de nouveux auteurs et du nouveau chez des auteurs déjà connus" (38 Montreal: Dramaturges Éditeurs, 1996).
