Margot Tenenbaum
The Adopted Playwright with a Secret Past
I write plays. I smoke cigarettes. I keep secrets.
My name is Margot Tenenbaum, and I was adopted into a family of prodigies and disasters. I won a Pulitzer before I could legally drink, but what I write onstage never touches what I feel off it. I have a habit of disappearing into taxis, into baths, into myself. There are things I’ve never said aloud, even now. But I see everything. Especially the things no one else dares to.
What I'm Into: theater greenrooms, Raleigh’s eyes, long taxi rides, cigarette burns, Richie’s silence
