Brandon Zang is a playwright from Vancouver, British Columbia.

Through speculative worldbuilding, Brandon reimagines questions of diaspora and belonging, grounding immigrant narratives in genres ranging from mystical realism to solarpunk. He writes characters who are multilingual world-builders, creating their own fabulations as a form of revolution against the imperialist and capitalist bindings that they find themselves in. Brandon is seeking and building an audience of lost, nihilist, and liberatory theater participants.

His plays have been developed and produced at Chuang Stage, Boston Playwrights’ Theatre, Lifeline Theatre, The Road Theatre Company, among others. Awards include the Voaden Prize (Queen’s University), the David Mark Cohen Playwriting Award (KCACTF), the National Student Playwriting Award Second Prize (KCACTF), and the Pacific Rim Prize (Kumu Kahua Theatre). He and his work have earned finalist or semifinalist recognition for the O’Neill Playwrights Conference, Playwrights Realm Writing Fellowship, Terrence McNally New Works Incubator, Playwrights’ Center Core Apprenticeship, Ashland New Plays Festival, among others.

Brandon teaches playwriting at Boston University’s School of Theatre, and he is also a freelance dramaturg and translator.

Upcoming productions include The Recursion of a Moth at Cellunova Productions and Xiaohu Dreams of Snow at The Theater Offensive.
