David French (playwright)
David French, OC (January 18, 1939) is a Canadian playwright.
==Early life==
French was born in the tiny Newfoundland outport of Coley’s Point,〔James Noonan "French, David" in Eugene Benson and William Toye (eds) ''The Oxford Companion to Canadian Litearature'', Don Mills: Oxford University Press, 1997 p.436-38〕 the middle child in a family of five boys. His father, Garfield French, was a carpenter, and during World War II worked for the Eastern Air Command in Canada. After the war, David’s mother, Edith, came to Ontario with the boys to join their father and the family settled in Toronto among a thriving community of Newfoundlandian immigrants.
French attended Rawlinson Public School, Harbord Collegiate, and Oakwood Collegiate. He was indifferent to books until Grade 8, when his English teacher, to punish him for talking in class, told French to sit down and read a book. The book David happened to pull off the shelf was Mark Twain’s ''The Adventures of Tom Sawyer''. French says that by the time he finished reading it, he not only knew that he wanted to be a writer〔 – he knew that he was one. Almost immediately he began to publish original stories and poems.
After high school, French trained as an actor. He spent a summer at the Pasadena Playhouse, and studied at various acting studios in Toronto. In the early 1960s, he played roles on stage and in CBC television dramas. Then he began writing for television. Over the next several years he wrote many half-hour dramas, including ''The Tender Branch'', ''A Ring for Florie'', ''Beckons the Dark River'', ''Sparrow on a Monday Morning'', and ''The Willow Harp''. He also wrote episodes of the popular children’s program ''Razzle Dazzle''.
