Don Nigro is an American playwright; his plays Anima Mundi and The Dark Sonnets of the Lady have both been nominated for the National Repertory Theatre Foundation's National Play Award.
Nigro has written more than 200 plays, 28 of which have played off Broadway. One of these, Ravenscroft, was adapted into the film The Manor. His plays also include The Transylvanian Clockworks, Seascape With Sharks and Dancer, and My Sweetheart's the Man in the Moon (about Evelyn Nesbit and Stanford White).
He is perhaps best known for his cult work The Curate Shakespeare As You Like It, subtitled Being the record of one company's attempt to perform the play by William Shakespeare.
