I have a confession to make: in writing this history play, I did precious little historical research. When I wrote Oil and Water my desk was covered in books, the same with Tempting Providence. My desk this time around had one book, and lots and lots of post-it notes. I read Wayne’s novel 10 times or more, dissecting it, cutting it up and reassembling it. What I didn’t do was give much consideration to historical accuracy. Wayne himself strayed from the record, most notably of course in his creation of Sheilagh Fielding. I have strayed further. In adapting this epic book, certain things are necessarily lost or truncated, and certain facets of Smallwood and Newfoundland’s history are mutated, twisted, or omitted all together. The history buff will have no trouble calling me out. But I made my primary task to reflect the spirit and heart of this magnificent book within the often-confining demands of a stage play. I hope what remains here evokes the sweep of Wayne’s storytelling, and in some way continues his investigation of the man, his country, and the key moments that made and unmade them. MUSIC NOTES The music of Colony invokes the jazz spirit in that pieces were both composed and improvised. This “comprovisational” approach facilitates the creation of sounds that are of the moment, unbound by genre, and unique to this production and these people: Patrick Boyle (trumpet, guitars, piano, loops), Bill Brennan (piano, vibraphone), Frank Fusari (accordion, double bass), Heather Kao (violin, piano) and Don Ellis (engineer).

His first book, The Story of Bobby O’Malley, published when he was just 27 years old, won the WH Smith/Books in Canada First Novel award for the best first novel published in the English language in Canada in that year. Subsequent books consistently received critical praise and increasing public attention. The Divine Ryans was adapted to the silver screen in a production starring Academy Award winner Pete Postlethwaite - Wayne wrote the screenplay.

Baltimore’s Mansion, a memoire dealing with his grandfather, his father and Wayne himself was tremendously well received and won the most prestigious prize for creative non-fiction awarded in Canada - the Charles Taylor Prize. Both Colony of Unrequited Dreams and Navigator of New York spent extended periods of time on best seller lists in Canada and have also been published in the US, Britain, Germany, Holland and China.
