	BBC - Writing Scotland - Scotland's Languages - Liz Lochhead
		Liz Lochhead was born in Motherwell, Lanarkshire in 1947.
		During the 1970s Lochhead was a member of the prestigious writer’s group initiated by Philip Hobsbaum and which included the new talents of Alasdair Gray, Tom Leonard and James Kelman.
		During the 1980s, Lochhead produced the plays that were to make her name as a Scottish playwright: the critically acclaimed Scots translation of Moliere’s Tartuffe, Mary Queen of Scots Got Her Head Chopped Off (which was performed at the Edinburgh Festival in 1987) and Dracula (1989).

	BBC - Writing Scotland - Women Writers - Liz Lochhead - Works
		Like Leonard, Lochhead recognises that the act of speech is in itself political, and her poetry seeks to give expression to both the marginalized voices of Scots and the community of women.
		Lochhead is concerned with the ways in which femininity is constructed and performed and she has the character of Elizabeth enact masculine types of behaviour (even appearing on stage in men’s clothes) as a means of representing the exclusion of feminine behaviour in the political realm.
		Lochhead is particularly concerned with the relationship between Mary and the Scottish religious reformer John Knox, who viewed Mary, and women in general, as dangerous, sexually potent and potentially subversive entities, unfit for spiritual or political leadership.

	Liz Lochhead
		Scottish poet and playwright Liz Lochhead was born in 1947, in Motherwell, Lanarkshire.
		Liz Lochhead travelled to Canada in the same year, after being selected for a Scottish Writers Exchange Fellowship, and she became a full-time writer, performance poet and broadcaster.
		In this respect, Liz Lochhead is part of a tradition of Scottish horror fiction: one might think of James Hogg’s Life and Confessions of a Justified Sinner and Robert Louis Stevenson’s Dr Jeckyll and Mr Hyde.

	Keeping fit and keeping moving, by Richard Price
		Although English and drama were important to Lochhead at the Motherwell secondary school she attended - where she wrote the best essays and won the lead parts in school plays - against her headmaster's advice she left not for university but for the Glasgow School of Art.
		It is also notable that Lochhead has cited the crafted Edinburgh voice of Robert Garioch, a master of the sonnet, as one of her principal influences.
		Lochhead's 1981 collection The Grimm Sisters, an exploration of fairy tale and archetypal women, often in their own imagined voices, may well have created aesthetic space which Duffy has been able to develop.

		But Liz Lochhead's bittersweet comedy, written for and starring Siobhan Redmond, veers dangerously close to the worst kind of weepy schmaltz.
		The story of Glaswegian celebrity hairdresser Barbs, yearning for a baby and a bloke as she stares down the barrel of her 40th birthday, is part sitcom, part soap, and touches on every Cosmo-editorial cliché as it trundles by.
		Lochhead and Redmond catch her modern dilemmas with great warmth and humour.

	The Hindu : Greek grandeur showcased
		Liz Lochhead, "Scotland's greatest living dramatist'', wrote her version of Medea using the Greek mythic material in a contemporary Scots context.
		Although Liz Lochhead stayed close to the original text, her re-structured units and the fresh perspective she brought to her version made "Medea" a very identifiable situation.
		Lochhead's choice of language can also be seen as a political statement, as also being appropriate for the theme that an audience could relate to.

		Lochhead's protagonist, Barbs Marshall, is no lonely, intellectual feminist, but the co-owner of a fashionable Glasgow salon, coiffeuse to the city's television elite, and herself a small-screen purveyor of hair-and-makeup makeovers.

		Liz Jensen’s first three novels have seen her shortlisted for the Guardian Fiction Prize and acclaimed by a range of writers including Fay Weldon, Margaret Forster, Liz Lochhead and Matt Thorne.
		Liz Jensen is excellent with voices, whether it’s the cockney Gloria, her drawling American airman (‘Back home they don’t have no Ayrabs’), or the tense, clumsy English of a Croatian care-worker.
		And it is, in the end, extremely and unexpectedly moving as the difficult, spiky narrator emerges at the end of her life — out of the horror of the war crimes in her own heart — into some sort of peace.

		Lochhead's work includes, most famously, Blood and Ice and Mary Queen of Scots Got Her Head Chopped Off, one of those key plays reimagining the nature of Scottish identity from the stage that predated the great revival of Scottish theatre writing of the 1990s.
		Her work is marked by a consistent pressurizing of the roots and sources of identity; she is never afraid of complexity as demonstrated by the deep ambivalence of La Corbie, our birdlike guide through this briary drama.
		Lochhead is the first of a group of around eight Artistic Associates (I guess something like Hytner's kitchen cabinet at the [English] National Theatre) who will advise and guide the development of this project.
