Nanna Cecilie Bang

Playwright, director and actress. Debuted as a playwright with her solo show True Story in 2017 and received the Danish Art Foundation talent price for her writing and performance. She has since written for theatres all over Denmark and has been artist in residence at Aarhus Theatre from 2019/2020. With titles like The art of being okay, My Heartache brings all the boys to the yard and A Manifest for the Fragile Authorities, her writing is characterised by mixing storytelling, poetry and stand up. She has reached especially a younger community with her brutally honest, comic and oversharing take on subjects like anxiety, sex and loneliness. In 2022 she was nominated to best playwright for her play The Supreme Gentleman, and in 2023 she received the Applaus Prize, given to an artist who makes a difference in the Danish theatre landscape.
