“A playwright, director, performer and
teacher of playwriting, Bryony Lavery
has swum against the mainstream with
verve, nerve and success since the
beginning of her career in the early
seventies. A wizard of humor and
theatricality, she has produced a vast
array of work, displaying huge talent
and diversity” (Introduction, Rage
and Reason: Women Playwrights on
Playwriting by Methuen). A rounded
theatre practitioner, Lavery's skills
extend to performer (most notably as
Tinkerbell in Peter Pan at the
Drill Hall), artistic director (Gay
Sweatshop and Female Trouble), writer
of children's theatre (including
The
Dragon Wakes, Madagascar
and
Down Among The Mini Beast) and
of many cabarets (including
Floorshow with Caryl Churchill
for Monstrous Regiment in 1977). From
1989 to 1992 she was Tutor-Lecturer on
the M.A. Playwriting Course at
Birmingham University. She is an
