Ep. 37 - Allan Stratton

Many of my guests have discussed the paths they followed through careers both linear and pin-ball like. Allan Stratton begins by stating that he was raised by a single mom in Bruce County, Sarnia and London.

He has lived in Manhattan, Montreal, Vancouver and Switzerland — but mostly in Toronto.

Allan began his professional life as an actor, moved on to playwriting (I ‘met’ Allan by directing his very successful play, Nurse Jane Goes to Hawaii — we didn’t meet at the time, and it’s likely that until reading this, if he does read it, he won’t have known that our separate paths crossed), and then he spent a few years as head of an arts school.

Since 2000, Allan has been a novelist. His books have won awards and have been published in over 20 countries — look him up to get the full picture.
