Torben Betts

Torben Betts est né à Stamford dans le Lincolnshire en Angleterre en 1968. Il a fait ses écoles à Stamford puis a étudié la littérature et la langue anglaise à l'Université de Liverpool. Il s'est formé et a travaillé en tant qu'acteur avant de devenir dramaturge.

Il est généralement considéré comme étant l'expression la plus passionnante et la plus originale du théâtre anglais, malgré le fait qu'il n'ait reçu que peu d'aide de l'institution théâtrale.

Sa pièce The Unconquered, produite par la Stellar Quines Company, a été nominée comme Best New Play en 2006-2007 aux Critics' Award for Theatre in Scotland.

Actuellement, une seule de ses pièces, La Sourde Oreille, a été traduite en français.

Ses pièces sont publiées par Oberon Books, Londres.
