Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:EngvarB Шаблон:Use dmy dates Bathsheba "Bash" Doran is a British-born playwright and TV scriptwriter living in New York City.

Life

Bathsheba Doran, nicknamed "Bash", grew up in London and studied at Cambridge University. Her mother is the Elizabethan historian, Susan Doran. She became interested in comedy and writing early on. Doran says she fell in love with theatre when she found Peter Pan's shadow in the backstage at a theatre when she was a little girl and realised that it was made of pantyhose.

Doran was a contemporary of Robert Webb and David Mitchell. Her first job as a professional writer was comedy sketch writing for their BBC2 show Bruiser. She worked for several years in London as a comedy writer, writing for shows such as Smack the Pony and TV to Go.

In 2000, Doran moved to the United States on a Fulbright Scholarship. She studied and received a Master of Fine Arts from Columbia University in 2003, and was selected as a playwriting fellow at Juilliard School.

Doran's work has been developed by the O'Neill Playwriting Center, Lincoln Center, Manhattan Theatre Club and Sundance Theatre Lab, among others. She helped Lear deBessonet with her play transFigures. She has had plays commissioned by the Atlantic Theater Company and Playwrights Horizons.

Doran's play, Kin, described as "exquisitely wrought" by the New York Times, premiered at off-Broadway's Playwrights Horizons from 25 February – 3 April 2011, under the direction of Sam Gold.

Her play The Mystery of Love and Sex, directed by Sam Gold, opened at Lincoln Center in New York on 2 March 2015. It was described as "perfectly wonderful" by the New York Times.

The play was subsequently produced at the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles and the Signature Theater, Arlington VA, among other national and international venues.

Doran was nominated for a 2012 Writers Guild Award for her work on the HBO series Boardwalk Empire. She also wrote episodes for season 2 of the NBC show Smash. She was a writer and co-producer of season 2 of the Showtime show Masters of Sex. She was co-executive producer and writer of Hulu's adaptation of The Looming Tower.

She co-wrote the Netflix feature film Outlaw King, starring Chris Pine and directed by David Mackenzie.

She created and wrote the Channel 4 show Traitors (originally named Jerusalem).

She lives with her wife and two children in New York City.
