Fornés, Maria Irene

Fornés, Maria Irene
born May 14, 1930, Havana, Cuba

Cuban-born U.S. dramatist.

Her family moved to the U.S. in 1945, and she became a painter before beginning to write plays in the early 1960s. She wrote some 35 stage works and directed her own works as well as classic drama. Her innovative dramas have made her one of the most successful and frequently produced of Off Broadway playwrights. Her best-known play, Fefu and Her Friends (1977), explores women's relationships with one another.
