FULL BIO

"Bowie's writing is wonderful." 
~ Paula Citron, Classical 96.3 FM (Toronto)

“ Superbly written by Douglas Bowie, layered with subplots and richly etched characters, Empire, Inc. is quite possibly the CBC's best drama ever. ” 
~ Trish Worron, Canadian Press 

“ Bowie is a gifted writer and Goodbye, Piccadilly is a showpiece of his art... it doesn't get much better than this. ”       ~ 701.com. Hamilton 

 “ Till It Hurts production is nothing short of brilliant. ” 
~ Greg Burliuk, Kingston Whig-Standard
