Bryony Lavery
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bryony Lavery is a modern British playwright. Her most succesful play to date is the heavy-handed FROZEN and it has won her various awards for its ingenuity. Bryony Lavery says she was fed up with playing poor parts in plays, such as the left arm of a sofa, and decided to write better parts in plays for women. Her plays have this feminist undertones within them and she has even written plays like More Light with entirely female casts. She has now written over 20 plays and is still writing.
