Direction: Scott Smith

Script: Scott Smith
Produced by the National Film Board of Canada in co-operation with the National Arts Centre and the Governor General's Performing Arts Awards Foundation.
George F. Walker’s career has spanned almost four decades, more than 20 plays, and a number of award-winning television series, but Rolly and Stevie (from Walker’s play Criminal Genius) have succeeded in tying the notoriously elusive dramatist down. To a chair. With lots of rope. Director Scott Smith’s wicked reversal of theatrical order, puts Walker in the centre of one of his own creations.
