Margaret Hollingsworth, playwright, novelist was born in London, Eng 5 June 1939. She Hollingsworth immigrated to Canada in 1968, settling in Thunder Bay, where she earned a BA in psychology from LAKEHEAD UNIVERSITY before moving to Vancouver for an MFA in theatre and creative writing at the UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA.
Margaret's work focuses on dislocation, sometimes associated with movement across space (immigration, uprooting), sometimes with a kind of inner migration or exile. For her, deracination is juxtaposed with a strong feeling for home, the space that many of her characters struggle toward, though they don't always manage to arrive safely. Her theatrical work frequently enacts this theme through its daring and sometimes bizarre structure, where the action is fractured in time and space and the language of the characters tends to be oblique and fragmented.
