“Mona Mansour tackles some of the toughest issues on the planet—not least the Palestine/Israel conflict—with tremendous empathy, gorgeous language, deep compassion, and nuanced insights. Her integrity is deeply impressive, and her achievements striking,” said Steinberg Trust advisory committee member and Public Theater artistic director, Oskar Eustis.

Martyna Majok and Mona Mansour have been named winners of the 2023 Steinberg Playwright Awards, also known as the ‘Mimi’ Awards. The honor, for early-to-mid-career playwrights, includes a $100,000 grant for each winner. The awards are a program of the Harold and Mimi Steinberg Charitable Trust.
