LOCATION

CONTENT

Notes:
Tape has been recorded over, original label states “No.1 November 15/77 #1” - Malka begins interview by confusing Walter Learning and Alden Nowlan - Discussing The Dollar Woman (particularly its upcoming radio play adaptation). Learning notes that the basis of the story is all true, their only inventions were particular characters. This phenomenon is incredibly well-documented because there was a journalist at the time who took great issue with the poor auctions and dedicated repeated issues of the his column to the issue. - Learning notes that the idea of the play “chose them” - Audience reception of the stage play - The collaborative process for Learning and Alden Nowlan; how the play changed from conception to completion - The public feud between Alden Nowlan and Learning prior to their collaboration (and the great fun they had in maintaining this feud) - Histories of writing in Canada—playwriting, poetry, “Canadian literature”
