著名喜剧剧作家克里斯托弗·迪朗去世，他曾创作过托尼奖获奖作品《万尼亚》、《索尼娅》、《马什和斯匹克》。

During the 1980s and '90s, Durang was one of the best-known American playwrights, writing absurdist comedies that made him a favorite of both Broadway and regional theaters. He first broke out in 1980 with Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It All, which won the Obie Award for Best Playwright.
在20世纪80年代和90年代，迪朗是美国最著名的剧作家之一，他创作的荒诞喜剧使他成为百老汇和地方剧院的最爱。1980年，他凭借《玛丽·伊格内修斯修女解释一切》一举成名，并获得了欧比奖最佳剧作家奖。
The play, which satirizes Catholicism, premiered Off Off Broadway before transferring to Off Broadway's Playwrights Horizons, a longtime launchpad for theatrical talent.
这部讽刺天主教的戏剧在外百老汇首演，之后转到外百老汇的剧作家地平线，一个长期培养戏剧人才的平台。
Durang was born Jan. 2, 1949, in Montclair, N.J. He studied English at Harvard College, before getting his M.F.A. in playwriting from the prestigious Yale School of Drama.
迪朗1949年1月2日出生在新泽西州蒙特克莱尔。他在哈佛大学学习英语，然后在著名的耶鲁大学戏剧学院获得戏剧写作硕士学位。
It was at Yale where he met some of his longtime collaborators, most notably, actress Sigourney Weaver. Weaver starred Off Broadway in Durang's 1981 follow-up to Sister Mary Ignatius, Beyond Therapy, which tells the story of two eccentric New Yorkers trying to strengthen their relationship with the assistance of therapists.
正是在耶鲁大学，他遇到了一些长期的合作伙伴，其中最著名的是女演员西格妮·韦弗。韦弗主演了迪朗1981年继《玛丽修女伊格内修斯》之后的非百老汇剧《超越治疗》，讲述了两个古怪的纽约人试图在治疗师的帮助下加强他们的关系。
The play transferred to Broadway, starring Dianne Wiest, John Lithgow, and David Hyde Pierce in 1982. Robert Altman directed an adaptation for the screen in 1987, but Durang disavowed the project, calling it "a very unhappy experience and outcome."
该剧于1982年搬到百老汇，由黛安·韦斯特、约翰·利特戈和大卫·海德·皮尔斯主演。1987年，罗伯特·奥特曼执导了一部改编电影，但迪朗否认了这个项目，称其为“一个非常不愉快的经历和结果”。
The 1980s brought him a run of beloved hits, including The Actor's Nightmare, Baby With the Bathwater, and The Marriage of Bette and Boo. He was also beloved for his one acts, which often parodied other dramatists, most notably For Whom the Southern Belle Tolls, which spears Tennessee Williams' The Glass Menagerie. His one acts, including Wanda's Visit, Business Lunch at the Russian Tea Room, and A Stye of the Eye, are often gathered into a single evening of performance under the title Durang/Durang.
20世纪80年代，他创作了一系列脍炙人口的热门作品，包括《演员的噩梦》、《带洗澡水的婴儿》和《贝蒂和布的婚姻》。他也因为他的独角戏而备受喜爱，他经常模仿其他剧作家，最著名的是《南方美女为谁而战》，这部戏击败了田纳西·威廉姆斯的《玻璃动物园》。他的独幕剧，包括《万达的来访》、《俄罗斯茶室的商务午餐》、《眼睛的风格》，经常以《迪朗/迪朗》的名字集中在一个晚上的演出中。
His 2006 play Miss Witherspoon was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in Drama.
他2006年的戏剧《威瑟斯彭小姐》入围了普利策戏剧奖。
His greatest triumph came with 2012's Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike, which featured a starry Broadway cast that included Weaver, Hyde Pierce, and Billy Magnussen in his breakout role. The show, which borrows heavily from and parodies the works of Anton Chekhov, went on to win Best Play at the 2013 Tony Awards.
他最伟大的胜利是2012年的《万尼亚和索尼娅》、《玛莎和斯派克》，这部电影的百老汇演员阵容群星璀璨，包括韦弗、海德·皮尔斯和比利·马格努森。这部剧大量借鉴并模仿了安东·契诃夫的作品，并在2013年托尼奖上获得了最佳剧本奖。
His final play was 2018's Turning Off the Morning News, and he gradually receded from public life until his aphasia diagnosis was announced in 2022.
