Nikolay Kolyada Biography

Nikolay Kolyada is one of the most popular and richest Playwright who was born on December 4, 1957 in Presnogor’kovka, Kazakhstan.

When he began writing for the theater in the mid-1980s, Kolyada got a reputation for “chernukha”, which critic John Freedman describes as an “almost untranslatable but expressive Russian noun [combining] shades of gloom, doom, bile, and jaundice colored with foul-mouthed-insolence.” His plays were known for their naturalistic approach to representing life’s banal and pitiful troubles. His plays were among the first in Russia to use profanity, and are known for it. His scant use of profanity violated taboo at the time, but set the stage for much more pervasive obscenities by 2010.

After living and working in Moscow for a time, Kolyada returned to Yekaterinburg, and has been instrumental in bringing the city’s theater activity to prominence. He has taught playwriting at the Ural Institute and the Ekaterinburg State Theatre Institute since 1992, often teaching auditors as well as enrolled students. His students would present their work at his Kolyada Theater in Yekaterinburg. His is cited as one of the few playwriting programs in Russia, and several of his students have gone on to be produced in the more demanding venues of Moscow. Two of Kolyada’s students, Oleg Bogayev and Vassily Sigarev have gained international acclaim and been produced in the United States.
