After growing up in Toronto, and spending time in Europe, Deborah Lavin "A powerful writing talent" (Die Welt, Berlin) "notable for her ability to write sharp, character-defining dialogue" (What's On, London) now lives in Kings Cross, in the "hard-edged heart" of London. Her plays are "Brave and brilliant." (Der Tagesspiegel, Berlin), "witty, humane and at the same time serious" (Morning Star, London). Emotionally literate, with convincing and well-constructed plots that "maintain pace and tension right up to the closing moments" (What's On, London). Deborah Lavin's work deals with "humour and humanity" (Time Out, London) both with individuals in extreme personal crisis, as well as the big world issues, yet she avoids "the condescension of reassuring the audience with comfortable platitudes" (Time Out, London), and she has the intellectual honesty to give equally "Funny, biting dialogue" (Berliner Morgenpost, Berlin) to the "Strong, believable characters" (Die Tageszeitung, Berlin) on all sides of the emotional and political divides.
