Chicago has shaped playwright Martyna Majok and set her on a path of success that most who’ve picked up a pen could only dream of — all of which she fears could disappear in an instant.
The anxiety might seem misplaced considering her credentials: a Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 2018, a 2022 Broadway debut, a collaboration with songstress Florence Welch for an in-the-works musical adaptation of “The Great Gatsby,” an upcoming HBO series based on one of her works, and a play — “Sanctuary City” — set for a Chicago premiere later this month at the Steppenwolf Theatre.
