Edwin Wong

In 2018, Edwin Wong founded the Risk Theatre Modern Tragedy Playwright Competition with Langham Court Theatre to challenge conventional Aristotelian, Hegelian, and Nietzschean interpretation of tragedy. A year later, his theory of tragedy was published by Friesen Press. The book is called "The Risk Theatre Model of Tragedy: Gambling, Drama, and the Unexpected." It is available through Amazon and B&N. He is an award-winning classicist with a master's degree from Brown University, where he concentrated in ancient theatre. His other research interests include epic poetry, where he has published a solution to the contradiction between Homeric fate and free will by drawing attention to the peculiar mechanics of chess endgames. He lives in Victoria, Canada.
