Читать книгу Chimera - Wendy Lill - Страница 4

The playwright would like to thank Marti Maraden for commissioning Chimera at the National Art Centre and Lise Ann Johnson for her steadfast support.

In terms of the subject matter, the play could not have been written without the tremendous help and guidance of Dr. Françoise Baylis, Chair in Bioethics and Philosophy, Dalhousie University. Thanks also to Jason Scott Robert, at the Centre for Biology and Society, Arizona State University; Margaret Somerville, author, and professor of Law and Medicine, McGill University; and Dr. Jane Roskams, Department of Zoology, the University of British Columbia. Any errors or exaggerations in the area of science and bioethics are purely the responsibility of the playwright.

I would also like to acknowledge the enormous contributions made by actors during the development of the play: (NAC) Mary Long, Mary Ellis, Lorne Pardy, John Koensgen, Pierre Simpson, and Paul Rainville; (Banff playWrites Colony) Ian Leung, Carmen Aguirre, Raoul Bhaneja, David Beazely, Brian Dooley, Val Pearson and Birgitte Solem; (Tarragon Theatre) John Dolan, Philippa Domville, David Fox, Joan Gregson, David Jansen and Geoffrey Pounsett. I would also like to thank Luisa Appolloni, Joanna Falck and Richard Rose. And as always, Mary Vingoe for her patience, her passion and her quest for ideas.

Finally, the playwright acknowledges the assistance of the 2006 Banff playWrites Colony—a partnership between the Canada Council for the Arts, the Banff Centre and Alberta Theatre Projects.
