Anne de Mare, Director/Producer

Anne de Mare is an award-winning playwright, producer and director from New York City, where her original plays have been presented at The Ontological Theater, SoHo Rep, The Flea Theatre, The New York International Fringe Festival, and The Ohio Theatre (among others). Her pieces have also been produced in Chicago and most recently in London at The Jerwood Space. The Village Voice has hailed Anne’s work as “ingenious” not to mention “fast-paced, wacky and savage,” while TheatreWeek described her as “a considerable creative force.”
