Biography

Jean-Claude Grumberg (born 1939) is a French playwright and author of children's literature.

Before pursuing a career in playwriting, Grumberg worked various jobs, including as a tailor—a profession reflected in the central theme of his play L'Atelier. He discovered drama as an actor in a theatre company. He began writing in 1968 with works such as Demain, une fenêtre sur rue and short pieces like Rixe, which was performed at the Comédie-Française. His writing often addresses themes that have haunted him since childhood, particularly the loss of his father in Nazi death camps, as seen in works like Maman revient pauvre orphelin, Dreyfus (1974), L'Atelier (1979), and Zone libre (1990).

L'Atelier was revived in 1998 at Théâtre Hébertot in Paris, achieving significant success and earning the 1999 Molière Award for Best Play Direction.

In film, Grumberg contributed as a writer to Les Années Sandwiches, co-wrote François Truffaut's The Last Metro, and worked on La Petite Apocalypse by Costa-Gavras, Le Plus Beau Pays du monde by Marcel Bluwal (1999), and Fait d'hiver by Robert Enrico (1999). For television, he wrote scripts for Thérèse Humbert, Music Hall by Marcel Bluwal, Les Lendemains qui chantent by Jacques Fansten, and Julien l'apprenti by Jacques Otmezguine.

He is among the few living contemporary French playwrights whose works, including L'Atelier, are studied in schools. Grumberg was awarded the Grand Prize of the Académie française in 1991 and the SACD Prize for lifetime achievement in 1999. He also won the Molière Award for Best Playwright in 1991 for Zone libre and again in 1999 for L'Atelier.

Jean-Claude Grumberg is the father of actress Olga Grumberg.
