Born in Trussville, Alabama, this highly acclaimed contemporary playwright attended Middlebury College, Birmingham-Southern College, the University of Virginia and the Iowa Playwrights Workshop at the University of Iowa. The first American to win an Evening Standard Award (top British drama award), she is the author of over a dozen produced plays that have been performed at regional and national theatres including The Goodman, The Public Theatre, Manhattan Theatre Club, Lincoln Center Theatre, and The Royal Court. Chicago Tribune critic Chris Jones describes Gilman as a playwright who” writes plays with such intriguing plots that the audience finds itself hungry for what is going to happen next – and once she has the viewer under that narrative spot, she does not shirk from exposing complex themes with a strongly feminist sensibility, dispersed with just the right quirky touch of nouveau Southern gothic.” The Sweetest Swing in Baseball
Born in London to Irish expatriate parents, Martin McDonagh has always been an “enfant terrible” and an outsider. Despite his London base, McDonagh’s plays have by-and-large focused on life in Connemara, Ireland and have been noted for their “black comedy” sensibilities and “Tarantinoesque” style. He was won numerous awards including Tonys and Evening Standard Awards and an Academy Award in 2006 for Six Shooter. He has been a resident playwright with The National Theatre in London and each of his last five plays has received significant runs on Broadway and in regional theatres. In addition to The Pillowman, he is noted for works such as The Galway Trilogy (including The Beauty Queen of Leenane) and the Aran Islands Trilogy (including The Lieutenant of Inishmore). The Pillowman
In an interview for Time Magazine, Lindsay-Abaire explained that “I get my sense of structure from my dad and my sense of humor from my mother. She has a mouth like a trucker.” Born in South Boston, he moved from his working class roots to advanced education at Sarah Lawrence College and Julliard’s Playwright’s Program. His work “hinges on surprise” and he owes his style to the works of Ionesco and Feydeau. His plays often explore the outsider in search of clarity through a collision between poignant reality and delighted lunacy. In addition to this prizing winning play, he is the author of the highly acclaimed Fuddy Meers as well as Kimberly Akimbo. He wrote the book for the musical High Fidelity and has commissions for several TV and film screenplays. Rabbit Hole |  Andrew Philpot and Elizabeth Stuart in Rabbit Hole. |
