    ERIC MARLIN

    PROFESSION: Playwright

    HOMETOWN: Orange County, Calif.

    CURRENT HOME: New York City

    KNOWN FOR: A recent graduate of the Iowa Playwrights Workshop, Marlin’s play bad things happen here was presented at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2018, was shortlisted for the Berliner Festspiele Stuckemarkt, and was a finalist for the National Playwrights Conference at the Eugene O’Neill Theater Center. His play Breakfast Scene won the 2017 Samuel French Off-Off-Broadway Short Play Festival, and his new work What a World! What a World! was recently seen at Ars Nova’s ANT Fest.

    WHAT’S NEXT: As part of his residency with Montclair State University’s New Works Initiative, he’ll present his play How to Mourn the Dead: A Tragedy (in flux) at Montclair Feb. 20-23, with direction by Ilana Khanin.

    “Eric approaches all of his work with clearly articulated intentions, combined with curiosity and openness,” says Lila Rachel Becker, a director who met Marlin in the Iowa MFA program.
