Jane Martin is the pseudonym of a playwright whose identity is unknown. They have been writing plays since 1981. Their 1994 play Keely and Du won the American Theater Critics Association New Play Award and was a Pulitzer Prize finalist. Martin’s other plays include Anton in Show Business and Talking With�, a series of monologues performed by 11 actresses.
Martin has frequently collaborated with Jon Jory, the former artistic director of Actors Theatre of Louisville. Jory has directed all the premiers of Martin’s plays, and some have speculated that Martin is Jory himself. He has denied this and refuses to divulge any information about Martin’s identity other than to say that they are a native of Kentucky and would be unable to write their plays if their identity were revealed.
