About Me
Charlotte Keatley is best known for her ground-breaking play ‘My Mother Said I Never Should’, now translated into thirty-one languages, and the most widely performed play ever written by a woman. It was named by the National Theatre as one of the Significant Plays of the 20th Century, won the George Devine Award among others, and is a GCSE and university set text.
The Guardian: ‘This is the equivalent of breaking the four-minute mile…pointing the way for the next generation of playwrights in form and content.’
She has also written for radio, television, film and worked as a theatre critic and political journalist. The RSC commissioned her play ‘All The Daughters of War’, about the civilian experience of civil war, written out of extensive travels in Georgia, Eastern Europe. She has also worked as an actor, director and ran a performance art company. She teaches creative writing across the world, from warzones to village libraries. Her plays are published by Methuen.
