In 1959, George Luscombe, a Canadian-born actor and director, founded Toronto Workshop Productions, Toronto's first alternate theatre. For over a quarter-of-a-century, Luscombe pioneered the creation of a Canadian theatre of political and social concern and the development of plays through a collective process. / This study attempts to reconstruct the major events of Luscombe's personal and artistic life, and to assess his contribution to Canadian theatre through his work at Toronto Workshop Productions as revealed in company reports, contemporary records and the recollections of his friends and associates.
