Eva Zaniewska (alias Eva Briquette) was a playwright who came to England from Poland after World War II. Her focus was on plays for children, and she successfully staged many productions throughout the 1960s with the Children’s Play Theatre in Wimbledon. Her work was celebrated in Polish productions in the London theatre circuit. Most of her writing was in her native language, but a Husband for Patricia was found amongst many manuscripts following Eva’s death, written in perfect English.

Christopher Rumun is Eva’s son-in-law. He was first introduced to Eva and her dramatic productions by her daughter who had starred and played in many of her productions.
