Brad Fraser

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Brad Fraser (born June 28, 1959 in Edmonton, Alberta) is a Canadian playwright and screenwriter. He is one of the most widely produced Canadian playwrights both in Canada and internationally, although his gay-themed plays are sometimes controversial.

In addition to his theatre work, Fraser has written two films, Love and Human Remains and Leaving Metropolis, both adaptations of his plays. He has also written for the television series Queer as Folk, and currently writes a biweekly column for the Canadian gay magazine fab.

Keanu Reeves had his first acting role in the Toronto production of Fraser's play Wolfboy.
