Lawrence Aronovitch is a Canadian playwright based in Ottawa.

 

Lawrence Aronovitch is a Canadian playwright from Montreal.

His journey to this occupation was a roundabout one. After studying history and physics at Harvard and working in the U.S. and Canadian space programs, Lawrence began to write plays in 2007. Curiously, the many experiences he's had outside the theatre have helped inform his writing on issues important to him.

A former playwright in residence at the Great Canadian Theatre Company, he has written plays about scientists (Marie Curie), poets (W.H. Auden), politicians (Ezekiel Hart), movie stars (Hedy Lamarr) and ex-kings (Edward VIII).
