playwright Canada

Christopher Morris is a Canadian playwright known for his thought-provoking works that often engage with complex social issues. His solo play, The Runner, explores the moral dilemmas faced by a Z.A.K.A. volunteer in Israel and has garnered both critical acclaim and controversy for its nuanced portrayal of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Morris began writing The Runner in 2008, and it has since become a focal point of discourse in Canadian theatre, particularly following its cancellation by various institutions due to perceived biases. Morris uses his theatre as a platform for protest and dialogue, emphasizing the importance of presenting diverse perspectives in a polarized world.
