Morris’s recollection of how discovering theatre transformed him is both  moving and chuckle-worthy. Like so many of my guests, he underlines that, for  him, the work is a necessity. For survival, sure, but much, much more than  that: Morris makes it clear, without having to say it literally, that he cannot be  doing anything else with his professional life. 

Playwright, director, actor – Morris works, and has worked, across the country  and beyond. His more than 100 theatre and opera productions are balanced  by an enviable body of plays, many of which have received national and  international productions. Morris is the recipient of the Governor General’s Award for Drama – in 1994 for The Ends of the Earth and in 2004 for  Girl in the Goldfish Bowl.
