Douglas Bowie

Douglas Bowie is a Canadian playwright and screenwriter from Kingston, Ontario.
Born and raised in Ottawa, he attended Queen's University and Carleton University, and worked in advertising copywriting in his early career. He won second prize in a television writing contest sponsored by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation in 1967 for Who Was the Lone Ranger?, which was filmed and broadcast by the network later that year as an episode of the dramatic anthology series Teleplay.
He wrote further screenplays for that series, as well as standalone television films, miniseries and radio dramas in the 1970s and 1980s, before moving into playwriting with The Noble Pursuit in 1991. He concentrated mainly on playwriting thereafter, including a stint as playwright in residence at the Thousand Islands Playhouse.
