Author Information

Peter Coy is a Helen Hayes Award-winning playwright and a SUNY Purchase-trained director with more than 40 years of experience working in theatre. Based in Nelson County, Virginia, Coy has directed over 60 productions and written or adapted over 45 plays. Coy explores familial legacy, hope, and redemption as well as the nuanced impact of historical events on individual lives and relationships. He brings a deep appreciation for the power of psychological truth to his work. Stemming from his extensive training in clowning, bouffon, and commedia dell'arte, he adds a vibrant and often intense physical theatricality to his plays and productions. Coy has founded several theater companies, most recently The Earl Hamner Theater in Afton, Virginia, that is dedicated to the development and production of new work. His plays have been produced in Washington, D.C., New York City, across Virginia, and beyond.
