Marcus Youssef

Writer and performer Marcus Youssef is the associate artistic producer at Vancouver’s NeWorld Theatre, though he is currently teaching in the theatre department at Concordia University in Montreal. A graduate of both the National Theatre School (Acting, 1992) and the University of British Columbia (M.F.A., 2002), Youssef is a regular contributor of drama, commentary and documentary to numerous programs on the CBC network. He also writes regularly for publications such as Vancouver Magazine, Georgia Straight, Rice Paper, and This Magazine. For many years, Youssef has also dedicated himself to numerous community-based advocacy programs that aim at using writing and/or theatre as a tool for procuring political and social change. He co-founded CRANK Magazine with Matt Hern and Rich Lawley as well as the Reclaiming Project—a nationally recognized, immigrant-centred oral history program—with Mercedes Baines.

QUOTES OF NOTE

“ …a minor miracle not merely of adaptation but of historical translation too. Adrift highlights the way we suffer the same losses over and over again, raining revenge on revenge. Our struggle, in essence, never changes.”
— Globe and Mail

QUOTES OF NOTE

“ The Adventures of Ali & Ali … is solid and polished … shockingly poignant, seriously funny, humbly powerful, intelligently goofy …”
— Seattle Post-Intelligencer
