Moira Buffini
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Moira Buffini (1965 - ) is a British dramatist, director and actor associated with the In-yer-face theatre style.
Buffini was born in Cheshire in 1965 and trained as an actor at The Welsh College of Music and Drama. For Jordan, co-written with Anna Reynolds in 1992, she won a Time Out Award for her performance and Writers' Guild Award for Best Fringe play. Her 1999 play Silence earned Buffini the Susan Smith Blackburn Prize for best English-language play by a woman. She has also written screenplays for Carlton Television's City Lights series and BBC Wales. She did a writers’ attachment at the Royal National Theatre Studio in 1996.
Buffini is said to advocate big, imaginative plays rather than naturalistic soap opera dramas, and is a founder member of Monsterism, a theatre writers' campaign to promote new writing of large scale work in the British theatre.
