It was revealed that, in Canada, 2/3 productions were of plays written by male playwrights and 1/3 by female. When they looked at the breakdown of male playwrights, it was discovered that 1/2 (of those 2/3) were written by Canadian playwright Norm Foster. So, in Canada, produced plays are 1/3 male, 1/3 female, 1/3 Norm Foster.
