Tannahill also won the Governor General’s Award for English-language drama in 2014. “I self-identify as a queer artist,” he said. “It’s a concern that infuses all of my work, as does my passion for social issues.” Both of them come to the fore in this script. “It was inspired by the suic ide of Jamie Hubley,” said Tan- nahill, speaking of the 15-year-old Ottawa boy, son on a city councillor, who killed himself in 2011 after being harassed mercilessly by his peers. Tannahill was raised in Ottawa as well and recalls “being bul- lied quite a lot long before high school. I was someone who read as gay and that opened me up to a degree of violence. I would be harassed just standing at a suburban bus shelter, coming home from a rehearsal.” I had braces and acne and horrible pompadour hair, and wore blouses and print pants. I was the quite the fashion crime. But I was exploring the boundaries of my self-expression, pushing them as far as I could express. “I still do that today, but I do it in my work. “It was quite a process to come out to some of my family be- cause they were quite devoutly Christian,” Tannahill recalled. “But to their credit, they were accepting of me . in stages. “My mother was always great but, to be totally frank, some of what is said by the visiting couple in the play are things that have been said by my family, or from my parents’ friends, or my mother’s book club. All those subtle hypocrisies, those scathing lines spit under their breath.” The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline 1-800-273-8255 stopbullying.gov Suicide Hotline: 800-784-2433 THE CAST LATE COMPANY BY JORDAN TANNAHILL CAST Michael Shaun-Hastings .............................GRINNELL MORRIS* Debora Shaun-Hastings........................................ANN HEARN* Tamara Dermot......................................JENNIFER LYNN DAVIS* Bill Dermot.........................................................TODD JOHNSON Curtis Dermot..........................................BAKER CHASE POWELL SETTING The Time is today.

A subse- quent production, this one of The Little Foxes, garnered several “Critic’s Choices”. As did Chekhov in Yalta, Seymor In The Very Heart Of Winter, and many others right up to and including last year’s Perfect Timing. His 9th directorial assignment for the company was a revival of Joe Orton’s comic masterpiece What The Butler Saw. His earlier pro- ductions of Orton’s Loot and Entertaining Mr. Sloane re- ceived multiple Drama-logue awards, and were nominated for Robbie and LA Weekly awards. Gray has directed at virtually every major Waiver The- atre in town, from his controversial production of My Life In Art at the Tiffany to the AIDS play seven sundays (Drama-logue) at Theatre 40 (later trans- ferring to the Odyssey). His 1993 production of the Holocaust play Shayna WHO’S WHO Maidel was hailed by one critic as “wondrous. It doesn’t get better than this.” Because of his Canadian connections, (he received an M.A. from University of Toronto) he has been instrumental in bringing down a number of wonderful Canadian plays to Theatre 40, from Halo, to Herb Foster’s Opening Night, Seven Stories by Morris Panych and tonight Jordan Tan- nahill’s Late Company.
