In this darkly funny, sometimes hilarious, deadly serious and provocative new play from Craig Wright, writer of Recent Tragic Events and HBO's “Six Feet Under,” things are never what they seem – and never were.

CRAIG WRIGHT’s (Playwright) play GRACE premiered at Woolly Mammoth theatre where it was nominated for the Helen Hayes Award for Outstanding New Play. It also was recently staged in a critically acclaimed production at Northlight Theater. Recent Tragic Events also debuted at Woolly and was subsequently produced by Playwrights Horizons with Heather Graham in the lead. Melissa Arctic, a contemporary adaptation of The Winter’s Tale, premiered at the Folger Theatre and won the 2005 Helen Hayes Award for Outstanding New Play.

Main Street, adapted from the Sinclair Lewis novel, was commissioned and premiered by the Great American History Theatre. Orange Flower Water has been produced around the country, including the Steppenwolf in an extended engagement that led the Chicago Sun-Times to name it one of the Best of the Year as well as a Los Angeles Times Critics’ Choice production currently running at the Victory Theatre.

It was seen in New York last spring at the Edge Theatre. Molly’s Delicious had its debut at the Arden Theatre. The Pavilion has received dozens of productions around the country including a recent extended run at Rattlestick Playwrights Theatre in New York. He is currently writing two new plays as commissions from Actors Theatre of Louisville and Hartford Stage Company.

He has received fellowships in playwriting from the McKnight Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts and the Minnesota State Arts Board; a Pew Charitable Trust/Playwrights’ Center Collaboration Grant in 1995, 1996 and 1998; a Jerome Fellowship in 1989 and 1991; and a Barrymore Award for Excellence in Theatre nomination for Best New Play for Molly’s Delicious. Recent Tragic Events was a finalist for the American Theatre Critics New Play Award and the Helen Hayes Charles MacArthur Award for Outstanding New Play.

Mr. Wright received an Emmy nomination for his Six Feet Under episode Twilight and a WGA nomination for his episode Falling Into Place. He is currently writing for the JJ Abrams series Lost. He was also nominated for a Pulitzer Prize for The Pavilion.
