One of the first times Daniel MacIvor ever felt confident in his writing was in the eighth grade when he saw the words “you have talent” written on a short story he wrote. Now, decades into his career as a playwright, Daniel's two renowned one-person shows, “Monster” and “Here Lies Henry,” are playing at Toronto’s Factory Theatre. Daniel tells Tom about his love of theatre, how his late friend and collaborator Daniel Brooks came to him in a dream and told him the title of his upcoming work, and what he thinks the greatest gift theatre has ever given him is.
