Anna Chatterton is a playwright, librettist and stage actress. She has been the Playwright-in-Residence at Tarragon Theatre since 2011 and has written and performed in solo shows as well as with the feminist theatre collective Independent Aunties. Her play Within the Glass, which was nominated for a Governor General's Literary award, was produced by Tarragon Theatre in 2016 and is the story of two couples in a pre-natal custody dispute after a fertilized egg is mistakenly implanted in the wrong woman.

Her latest play, Gertrude and Alice, sees Gertrude Stein and her partner, Alice B. Toklas transported to present day where they must examine their historical legacies — for better or worse — through a modern lens.
