Larry Fineberg (born 1945 in Montreal, Quebec) is a Canadian playwright. He is most noted for his 1976 play Eve, an adaptation of Constance Beresford-Howe's novel The Book of Eve which won the Floyd S. Chalmers Canadian Play Award.[1]

Originally from the Côte-Saint-Luc borough of Montreal, Fineberg briefly attended McGill University[2] before transferring to Emerson College in Boston.[3] While there, he was a producer of several theatre productions, including Fiddler on the Roof and Cabaret, and worked as an assistant director to Frank Loesser.[3] He returned to Canada in 1972, and his first play Stonehenge Trilogy was staged by Toronto's Factory Theatre that year.[3]

His other plays have included Death (1972),[3] Hope (1972),[3] All the Ghosts (1973), Lady Celeste's Tea (1974), Waterfall (1974), Human Remains (1975),[3] Fresh Disasters (1976), Life on Mars (1979), Montreal (1981),[3] Devotion (1985),[3] Failure of Nerve (1991), Doctor's Liver (1992), The Final Solution (1992) and The Clairvoyant (2000),[4] as well as an adaptation of Medea which was staged at the Stratford Festival in 1978.[5]

Fineberg was a writer-in-residence at Stratford and Buddies in Bad Times,[3] and a founding member of the Playwrights Guild of Canada.[3]

Many, but not all, of Fineberg's plays addressed gay themes.[3] Fineberg identified himself as bisexual.[6]
