The award-winning international touring writer/performer, Ren Lunicke, is coming hot off the heels of Victoria Fringe Festival with an award for BRAVEST SHOW of 2018 for BLOOD RELATIVE. This is after a prodigious nomination for a Development Award in New Zealand for the same play, and several awards for "Ze": queer as f*ck! over the past two years.
New Zealand-based Ren Lunicke is Redmond, WA born, Canadian trained, and New Zealand based. Raised in the bible belt outskirts of King County and San Juan Islands County, they had a late exposure to secularism, coming to adulthood in neighboring B.C., Canada. Years later, in a "same-sex" Canada-approved marriage, they moved to Seattle for the first time, only to go through one of the first legal same-sex divorces right after U.S. federal recognition was granted. Post-divorce, they went on another journey through gender and sexual diversity leading them to settle in New Zealand.
