Born in Coventry England and educated at St. Mary's College, London and The University of Alberta, Edmonton, Keith has worked at the top levels of live theatre in Canada, including a season at The Stratford Festival, Ontario. There he worked with the eminent Canadian director, Jean Gascon, and helped create the festival's submission to the Applebaum-Hebert Royal Commission on the Arts.
While in Edmonton, Keith worked with John Neville OBE at Edmonton's Citadel Theatre, and created The Phoenix Theatre. At Theatre 3, Edmonton, his award-winning premiere of Sharon Pollock's internationally acclaimed drama, Blood Relations, earned him one of his four entries in The Oxford Companion to Canadian Theatre.
For the past decade and a half, Keith has taught at Brentwood College on Vancouver Island. For the past six years, Keith has been Director of Fine and Performing Arts at the school. Since he began to write screenplays under a decade ago, Keith has had five scripts optioned, and a 'story credit' on YOUNG ALEXANDER, a feature-length production, currently in post-production (Kersley Enterprises). His screenplay, NANJING DIARIES, about the fall of Nanjing in the Sino-Japanese war of 1937 will shoot in Shanghai, April 2005. (Marloo/Mediabus German/English co-production).
A dual national since coming to this amazing country, a sports nut, gregarious almost to the extreme, Keith is an excited mentor to the next generation of writers.
