Congratulations to Golden Tongues Playwright Lina Patel on Receiving the Cornelia Street American Playwriting Award!

The annual award is named for Cornelia Street in New York’s West Village, which has hosted some of the nation’s greatest playwrights. It recognizes an emerging playwright “of exceptional work ethic, character, and talent.”

We couldn’t be prouder! We are honored to have collaborated with Lina on Traces of Desire, her marvelous adaptation of Lope de Vega’s The Widow of Valencia, commissioned for the 2022 LA Escena festival and soon to be published by Bloomsbury in our forthcoming Golden Tongues anthology.
