THE ACCIDENTAL WRITER

The Abridged History of Modern Day India

About the Writer (300 words)
Naren Weiss began his playwrighting career in Chennai in 2010, quite by accident. Because he never imagined he would have a career in the same, several of his early scripts have since been lost; having been tossed aside immediately after performances.

Over the years, he has made a name for himself with his plays, very often returning to plays deeply rooted in South Indian culture. His work has played across the Indian subcontinent as well as in Singapore. With this play, he makes his North American debut as playwright.

Apart from working as a playwright, Weiss has worked (in the realm of writing) as a lyricist, screenwriter, music journalist (Sony Music) and copywriter (Ogilvy and Mather).
