David Adjmi (USA)

David Adjmi’s plays have been produced at theatres around the world such as Lincoln Center, RSC, Steppenwolf, and Soho Rep — where he was the Mellon Foundation playwright-in-residence for three years. His play Stereophonic transferred to Broadway’s Golden Theatre after a sold out, extended run at Playwrights Horizons, and went on to become the most Tony-nominated play in history. Stereophonic received the 2024 Drama Desk Award, New York Drama Critics’ Circle Award, Outer Critics Circle Award, Drama League, and Tony Awards for Best Play. His new play, The Stumble, was recently excerpted in The Paris Review, and his two-part play The Blind King is a commission from The Public/NYSF. Adjmi’s controversial hit 3C was selected as one of the top ten plays of the year by the New York Post, Time Out and the Advocate. His acclaimed one-act play Elective Affinities premiered at the Royal Shakespeare Company (dir. Dominic Cooke), and received a sold out U.S. premiere at Soho Rep starring Zoe Caldwell. He was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship, the Whiting Writers’ Award, the Kesselring Prize for Drama, and the Steinberg Playwright Award, among others. His critically acclaimed memoir Lot Six was published by HarperCollins in 2020, and his collected plays are published by TCG.
