Vivienne Franzman (born 1971) is a British playwright from Walthamstow, whose first play, Mogadishu, was critically acclaimed on its première at the Royal Exchange, Manchester[1] and on its transference to the Lyric Theatre, Hammersmith[2] in 2011. Dominic Cavendish of The Telegraph called it "the play of the year".[3] The play based on her own experiences[4] as a school teacher starred Julia Ford as a teacher victimised by a student's lies after she tries to protect him. Her latest play, "Pests," opens in March in The Royal Exchange, London.
