About Edwin Wong

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.
