Lucy Kirkwood FRSL (born in Leytonstone[1] 1984) is a British 

playwright and screenwriter. She is writer in residence at Clean 

Break. In June 2018 Kirkwood was elected Fellow of the Royal 

Society of Literature in its "40 Under 40" initiative.[2]

Kirkwood was raised in east London and has a degree in English 

Literature from the University of Edinburgh where she performed 

as part of improvisational comedy troupe, the Improverts and wrote 

for the Edinburgh University Theatre Company.

In 2005, she wrote and starred in her first play, Grady Hot Potato, 

at the Bedlam Theatre. It was also selected for the National Student 

Drama Festival.

Her play Chimerica examines the relationship between the US and 

China since the Tiananmen Square protests through the eyes of a 

former activist, and features over forty scene changes and British-

Chinese actors. The play opened at the Almeida Theatre in May 

2013 and transferred to the West End in August 2013. The play's 

title echoes the portmanteau word 'Chimerica', invented by 

economists to define the intertwined economies of the US and 

China.[7] The play won 2014 Olivier Awards for best new play, 

best director (Lyndsey Turner), best lighting (Tim Lutkin and 

Finn Ross), best sound (Carolyn Downing) and best set design 

(Es Devlin).[8]
