Bridie, James (1888–1951)| Scottish dramatist and professor of medicine. He was a founder of the Glasgow Citizens' Theatre. His plays include the comedies Tobias and the Angel and The Anatomist (both 1930). |
| Bridie was born in Glasgow, studied there, practised medicine there until 1938, and was for a time professor of medicine at Anderson College. |
| His plays show a richness of imagination and outstanding theatrical technique, though the problems set out in the first acts are not always satisfactorily resolved. Other plays include A Sleeping Clergyman (1933), Susannah and the Elders (1937), Mr Bolfry (1943), Dr Angelus (1947), The Queen's Comedy (1950), and The Baikie Charivari (1951). |
