Brad Fraser

Written while Fraser was playwright in residence with Alberta Theatre Projects,[4] it was a hit at ATP's playRites '89, and became his national and international breakthrough.

[8] Fraser won the Alberta Culture award for best full-length play in 1989, for Unidentified Human Remains and the True Nature of Love.
