Shayan Lotfi

My work explores the ways in which urban environments, political institutions, and shifting notions of ‘pluralism’ alter individual identities and interpersonal relationships.

Rehearsals at South Coast Repertory

Shayan Lotfi has written some plays and would like to write some more. He’s been fortunate enough that some really cool institutions – like South Coast Repertory, The Lark, Roundabout Theatre, and Boston Court – have helped develop his work, and that some really cool residencies – like SPACE at Ryder Farm and the Millay Colony – have fed and housed him as he knocked his ideas into shape. He is currently working on a play for the Elizabeth George Emerging Writers Commission. When he’s not writing he works as an urban policy consultant.
