7 Stages

Meet Frank Siera, our friend from Holland who is bringing a staged reading of his play "Poetic Licence" to 7 Stages on April 13!

Frank Siera (1989) is a Dutch playwright and stage director. He runs his own music theatre collective KASSETT, where he writes, directs and organises. Siera’s texts are typically inspired by a true story or legendary myth, philosophical in nature and written in a poetic and rhythmic style. Ever since he started writing, music has been an important influence, both in style and theme. In 2012, Siera graduated from the Dutch theatre academy in Maastricht with his own play SPRAAKWATER about the silent piano man who washed ashore in a British coastal town. SPRAAKWATER has since been translated and performed at the prestigious Festival D’Avignon in 2021, two different festivals in Brazil in 2022 and 2023 and tours throughout France, Belgium, Germany and Luxembourg. He wrote his first opera libretto RITRATTO for the renowned Dutch National Opera in 2020. RITRATTO was well-received with 5 stars by the BBC and nominated for an Edison, the Dutch equivalent of a Grammy award. His play SÂLT was performed in front of the Dutch King and Queen in 2023, at the well-known site specific theatre festival Oerol on the island of Terschelling. POETIC LICENCE, a play about British playwright Joe Orton and his partner Kenneth Halliwell, received rave reviews: “Frank Siera’s text plays a dark game with fiction and reality.” For 10 years, following his graduation in 2012, Siera collaborated with 7 Stages as a director and writing coach, in their yearly Dutch-American exchange and training program (Youth Creates and Bootcamp).
