Brad Fraser (born in Edmonton, Alberta, June 28, 1959) is a Canadian playwright, screenwriter, and cultural commentator.
He is one of the most well-known Canadian playwrights both nationally and internationally.
His plays often depict a harsh yet amusing glimpse of contemporary life in Canada, including candid representations of sexuality, heroin use, and violence.
Personal life
Fraser is openly gay, and his films often focus on LGBTQ storylines. He became the executive story editor on Showtime's Queer As Folk in 2003.
Career
Wolf Boy, Fraser's first stage performance in Edmonton in 1981, was later recognized as one of Keanu Reeves' most important acting roles.
Fraser first rose to national and international prominence as a playwright with Unidentified Human Remains and the True Nature of Love, an episodically based play about a group of thirtysomethings trying to find their way through life in Edmonton, though the city is haunted by a serial killer. When Fraser was playwright in residence with Alberta Theatre Projects, it was a hit at ATP's PlayRites '89 and his international breakthrough.
Poor Super Man, a 21-year-old boy from Cincinnati, caused international attention when the board of directors of Ensemble Theatre of Cincinnati temporarily pulled the performance due to its anticipated obscenity. Following a public outcry, the operation was revived. Poor Superman was launched without incident.
Fraser has produced two films, Love and Human Remains and Leaving Metropolis, two of his plays; Denys Arcand produced Love and Human Remains, Fraser's debut as a film director. He has worked on television series Queer as Folk; was host of his own television talk show Jawbreaker for PrideVision; and, for a brief period of time, he wrote a biweekly column for the Canadian gay magazine fab.
Kill Me Now, his most recent play, premiered in 2014. Two film adaptations of Kill Me Now were in production in Canada and South Korea as of 2021.
In May 2021, Brad Fraser, All the Rage, was published in a memoir by Doubleday Canada.
