I noticed a big disparity in the diversity of artists I like and the diversity of artists who actually get to speak a little more about their craft and share their knowledge.
Here are some my fave playwrights:
Jeremy O. Harris
Gurpreet Kaur Bhatti
Ryan Calais Cameron
Conor McPherson
Jackie Sibblies Drury
David Ireland
Franca Rame
Ciara Elizabeth Smyth
Anne Washburn
Jasmine Lee Jones
Andrea Dunbar
Brian Friel
