PAUL DAVID YOUNG, playwright: Livia: A Roman Tragedy.
Paul David Young's play All My Fathers was presented by La MaMa E.T.C. in New York in fall 2019 as part of La MaMa's 58th season. Evan Yionoulis, dean of David Geffen School of Drama at Yale and artistic director of Yale Repertory Theatre, directed the production, which was praised in The New Yorker ("hilarious"); @thereviewshub (five stars *: "All My Fathers is remarkable work and should not be missed."); Interludes (RECOMMENDED); Theater Is Easy ("performances that are both hilarious and poignant"); Theater Pizzazz ("Young’s humor is salient and sardonic. The actors are just terrific."); and Lighting & Sound America (“Packed with curveballs, All My Fathers is also a work of considerable literacy.”). His 2017 Trump satire, Faust 3: The Turd Coming, or The Fart of the Deal, performed by four clowns at Judson Church, was featured in the @nytimes, The Huffington Post, @nymag, @timeoutnewyork, @villagevoice ("Voice Choice"), The Wall Street Journal, and @hyperallergic Upstage Downstage picked his play Kentucky Cantata, at @herearts in New York, as one of the top 13 plays of Off-Broadway and Off-Off-Broadway for 2015. Erik Haagensen of Backstage selected his In the Summer Pavilion in NYCFringe and at 59e59 Theaters as a "Critic's Pick." His A Picnic for Orpheus will premiere as part of @lamamaetc's 2026-27 season in October/November 2027.
His No One But You won the Kennedy Center’s Paula Vogel Playwriting Award and was a finalist for the Kendeda Fellowship. His one-act Aporia was a finalist for the Kennedy Center's John Cauble Short Play Award. His translations, with Carl Weber, of Heiner Müller’s Anatomy Titus Fall of Rome and Macbeth were published as Heiner Müller: After Shakespeare. He has written performance criticism extensively for The Brooklyn Rail, PAJ: A Journal of Art and Performance (@mitpress), @artinamerica, and Hyperallergic. He is a graduate of @yale University (Phi Beta Kappa), @columbia Law School (Harlan Fiske Stone Scholar), and @thenewschool for Drama (M.F.A. Playwriting), and he was a Fulbright Scholar at Universität Bielefeld in Germany. www.pauldavidyoung.com
