Normand Chaurette
Quebec playwright noted for his use of theatrical structure.
Normand Chaurette was born July 9, 1954. After receiving his BA in literature in 1979, he taught linguistics and transformational grammar, while opening a centre where he taught French to Asian immigrants.
In 1976, his play Rêve d'un nuit d'hôpital won the Radio-Canada Prize and the Paul-Gilson Prize, given in Lausanne by the Association radio phonique des programmes de langue française.
From 1979-1983 he freelanced, writing several short stories, prefaces, translations and criticism. From 1984-88 he was an editor at the Quebec publisher (notably of plays) Leméac.
His own play, Fragments d'une lettre d'adieu lus par des géologues (Théâtre de Quat'Sous, 1986 and translated by Linda Gaboriau as Fragments of a Farewell Letter Read by Geologists), won the award for best new play in 1988 from the Association québécoise des critiques de théâtre.
