ABOUT THE PLAYWRIGHT

Natalya Vorozhbit was born in Kiev in the Ukraine and studied at the Moscow Literary Institute. Two of her plays, Demons and Galka Motalka, have been staged in Moscow and in the National Theatre of Latvia. Galka Motalka has been adapted for screen and is currently being filmed in Moscow. (NOTE: A version of Galka Motalka is on the IWP Web site.)

Another play, The Khomenko Family Chronicles, was commissioned jointly by the Royal Court (UK) and the BBC World Service. It was first performed as a rehearsed reading as part of Small Talk: Big Picture at the Royal Court in 2006. It was then staged as part of the Royal Court’s International Season in Winter 2007 in a double bill with The Good Family by Joakim Pirinen.

Her play, The Grain Store, written as the result of a commission from the Royal Shakespeare Company, will be staged in The Courtyard Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon in 2009.

Translated from the Russian by Russell Valentino and Irina Kostina.
