About
Hattie Naylor was studying painting at the Slade School of Art when her first play was accepted in the BBC Radio Young Playwrights Festival. She has won several national and international awards for her plays and has had over forty plays, three short stories and an opera broadcast on BBC Radio 4 and/or 3. IVAN AND THE DOGS for Soho Theatre with ATC was nominated in the 2010 Olivier Awards for Outstanding Achievement. The radio version of IVAN AND THE DOGS, directed and edited by Paul Dodgson, won the Tinniswood Award for Best Original Radio Drama in 2009. The play has been translated into eight languages and productions are currently running in Brazil, Holland, The US, Greece, and Tbilisi, Georgia. Other recent productions include a bloodthirsty re-working of THE NUTCRACKER for Theatre Royal Bath, and the opera PICCARD IN SPACE with composer Will Gregory (Goldfrapp) for Radio 3 and The Southbank, conducted by Charles Hazlewood and directed by Jude Kelly. Other recent work include adaptations of CLARISSA, and the current serialization of THE DIARIES OF SAMUEL PEPYS both for BBC Radio 4, and GOING DARK with Sound and Fury (Critics Choice in both the Guardian and Time Out) at the Young Vic this year. |
