Jordan Tannahill (b. 1988) is a playwright, novelist, and director.
His novels and plays have been translated into twelve languages, and honoured with a number of prizes including two Governor General's Awards for Literature. Tannahill's plays frequently explore the nature of belief, queer identity, power relations, and the body as a political subject. His debut novel, Liminal, was honoured with France's 2021 Prix des Jeunes Libraires. His second novel, The Listeners, was shortlisted for the 2021 Giller Prize, and adapted into a limited series for the BBC. Tannahill's Draw Me Close, an autobiographical performance featuring a fusion of motion capture technology, virtual reality, and animation, was co-produced by London's National Theatre and the National Film Board of Canada. The piece premiered at the 2017 Tribeca Film Festival, and in a longer iteration at the Venice Biennale the same year. His upcoming play, Prince Faggot, will have its world premiere in New York City this June at Playwrights Horizons, in co-production with Soho Rep. In 2019, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) named Tannahill as one of sixty-nine LGBTQ Canadians, living or deceased, who has shaped the country's history. His newest play, Prince Faggot, received a world premiere production in New York City in June 2025 at Playwrights Horizons, in co-production with Soho Rep.
