A.R. Gurney is an American playwright and novelist.

Born in Buffalo, New York, Gurney, a graduate of St. Paul’s School (Concord, New Hampshire), attended Williams College and the Yale School of Drama, after which he began teaching Humanities at MIT. He began writing plays such as “Scenes from American Life”, “Children”, and “The Middle Ages” while at MIT, but it was his great success with “The Dining Room” that allowed him to write full-time.

Gurney has also written several novels, including “The Snow Ball,” The Gospel According to Joe,” and “Entertaining Strangers.” In 2006, Gurney was elected a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters.”
