Henry Naylor

After winning 51 awards in the past decade, Henry Naylor is one of the most decorated playwrights on the English-speaking Fringe circuit. He is one of only a handful of writers to have won the Fringe First three times and has taken the top prizes at the Edinburgh, Adelaide, Prague, Hollywood and New York Fringes. 

 

A former lead-writer on Spitting Image, his work is typically humorous and accessible, tackling difficult social and political issues with intelligence and wit.  

 

His plays have been staged in five continents and translated into seventeen languages.
