Playwrights
The theatre usually begins with the written word. Without a story
to tell there would be no theatre. It is the playwrites who craft
these stories. They are an important aspect of any site pertaining to
the theatre. Playwrites that I have found information on are listed
alphabetically by their last names. Clicking below their name will
lead you to information about their lives as well as some of the texts
they have written. If you know of a link to information about a play
or playwrite please go to the have a voice page and
let me know about it so I can add it to this list.
