George F. Walker's career has spanned almost four decades, but Rolly and Stevie (from Walker's play Criminal Genius) have succeeded in tying the notoriously elusive dramatist down. To a chair. With lots of rope. Director Scott Smith's wicked reversal of theatrical order puts Walker in the centre of one of his own creations. 

This film was produced for the 2009 Governor General's Performing Arts Award.

Directed by Scott Smith - 2009 | 6 min
