    • Mr. Kidnie carved a career in the theatre by (what can only be described as) organizing ignorance of history for discovery. In 1983, alongside Amanda Plummer, he portrayed " Lee Harvey Oswald " in the play of the same title by Michael Hastings and directed by John Michaelson at the Bayview in Toronto. This led to a collaboration with members of Marshall Mcluhan's coach house and a series of radio programs and podcasts now known as Achieve Radio. In 1998-99 ,he portrayed Roy Cohn in Tony Kirschner's 'Angels in America ' at the Centaur in Montreal. In 2007 , also at the Centaur, he played Werner Heisenberg in Michael Frayn's ' Copenhagen '.
