Christopher Durang is a playwright and actor. His plays have been seen on and off- Broadway, around the country and abroad. He usually writes comedy – either satire or dark comedy or parody or just absurdist. He has a B.A. in English from Harvard College, and an M.F.A. in Playwriting from Yale School of Drama.
As a student at Yale he had several plays presented at the School, and he especially worked at the Yale Cabaret. With fellow playwriting student Albert Innaurato he co-authored and performed in two very crackpot cabaret pieces, I Don’t Generally Like Poetry But Have You Read “Trees”? and The Life Story Of Mitzi Gaynor. Durang later collaborated with fellow student Wendy Wasserstein on another cabaret piece, When Dinah Shore Ruled The Earth.
