Martin Crimp, playwright

As part of Opera Lively's upcoming guidebook to George Benjamin's outstanding contemporary opera Written on Skin -- a true masterpiece that is enjoying enduring world-wide success and will be given in Toronto in March and New York City in August 2015 after sold-out performances in many European capitals and an Opus Arte blu-ray release, we interviewed the author of the text, the acclaimed British playwright Martin Crimp.

This is Opera Lively interview # 147.
