Canadian playwright. Born Dec 12, 1935, in Victoriaville, Quebec, Canada.
Wrote the play Les Fées ont Soif (1978, trans. as The Fairies are Thirsty, 1982), which was banned from a Montreal theater for its allegedly blasphemous representation of the Virgin Mary (Boucher was attacking the idealization of women); also wrote Cyprine: Essaicollage Pour Etre Une Femme (1978) and (with Madeleine Gagnon) Retailles (1978).
