Chris Ward (playwright)
Chris Ward (born 1958) is an English-Canadian film and theatre director and playwright. Life and career From 1979 to 1982, Chris Ward attended the London International Film School. The school had no courses in screenwriting and so Ward began writing for the stage. His play ''Demonstration of Affection'' was produced at the Arts Theatre in London in June 1981, starring the musicians Richard Jobson (of the band the Skids) and Honey Bane (formerly of the band Fatal Microbes). The play generated controversy for its supposed depiction of "live sex" on stage. Starting in 1981, he produced and directed his own work with the Wet Paint Theatre Company in various fringe and pub theatre venues in London, as well as performing dramatic scenes at punk concerts. The company, often described as "punk theatre" (a label which Ward rejects), was distinguished by its mixing of professionally-trained actors with musicians (often from punk bands) and other non-professional artistes.
