Sandy Rustin

Sandy Rustin is a prominent American playwright and actress, celebrated as one of the most produced playwrights in the United States and recognized on the Broadway Women's Fund's "Women to Watch" list. She adapted the beloved 1985 film into the hit stage comedy Clue: On Stage (premiered 2018), which has become a staple in regional and professional theatres for its fast-paced farce and clever nods to the original board game and screenplay. Her other works include the Broadway comedy The Cottage (2023), praised by The New York Times for its laugh-out-loud humor, and the original dramedy The Suffragette's Murder, which won the Edgerton Foundation New Play Award.

Rustin's background as an actress informs her writing, with earlier credits including the Off-Broadway musical Rated P for Parenthood. Her plays often explore themes of identity, societal roles, and absurdity through witty dialogue and intricate plots. With Clue: On Stage, co-credited with additional material from Hunter Foster and Eric Price, Rustin has brought timeless mystery-comedy to new audiences, solidifying her reputation for accessible yet sophisticated theatrical adaptations.
