Laura Harrington is an American playwright. Her award winning plays, musicals, operas, and radio plays have been widely produced in the U.S., Canada, and abroad. Harrington is a two time winner of the Massachusetts Cultural Council Award in playwriting and a two time winner of the Clauder Competition for best new play in New England for Mercy and Hallowed Ground. 

Much of her work is inspired by her fascination with history and her commitment to work that explores the human cost of war, from the Civil War (Hallowed Ground) to WWI (The Book of Hours) and WWII (Fifteen Minutes at Midway. She has indulged in a lifelong love affair with all things French, and, in particular, French history, from Martin Guerre to Joan of Arc, to her most recent work about Napoleon in exile, N Bonaparte.
