Biografia

Mavor studiò medicina all'Università di Glasgow laureandosi nel 1913, e successivamente servì quale dottore militare durante la prima guerra mondiale, al fronte in Francia e Mesopotamia. Le sue commedie ebbero successo a Londra e decisie quindi di dedicarsi esclusivamente a scrivere nel 1938. Ciò nonostante, ritornò come medico nell'esercito durante la seconda guerra mondiale.[1]

Uno dei principali fondatori del Citizens Theatre (Teatro Cittadino) di Glasgow con suo cugino, l'autore Guy McCrone,[6] Bridie fu anche uno dei promotori dell'istituzione del Festival di Edimburgo.[5]

Bridie lavorò col regista Alfred Hitchcock alla fine degli anni 1940, nei seguenti film:

Nel 1923 sposò Rona Locke Bremner (1897–1985). Loro figlio fu ucciso durante la seconda guerra mondiale.[1] Un altro figlio, Ronald (1925–2007) divenne sia medico che drammaturgo,[7] critico teatrale del quotidiano The Scotsman dopo essere andato in pensione come dottore, inoltre direttore dello Scottish Arts Council e Vice Presidente del Festival di Edimburgo.[5] Ronald è stato anche professore docente di dramma e Capo del Dipartimento di Dramma all'Università di Saskatchewan, poi nominato C.B.E. nel 1971.[5]

James Bridie morì a Edimburgo di colpo apoplettico ed è sepolto nella Glasgow Western Necropolis.[5] La Biblioteca Bridie della Università di Glasgow è intitolata a suo nome.
