Tatiana Strauss
Biography
Born in London to a young free-spirited French mother, Tatiana Strauss was brought up in the wilds of Wales without electricity and no plumbing; there attending eleven different schools. She was an actress for twelve years, working successfully in film, television and theatre, over which time she set up two theatre companies and wrote and produced Bloodsuckers, a compassionate study of incest, performed in London and Paris.
Tatiana Strauss wrote and directed her debut feature film, Space Invader, exploring friendship, loss and betrayal, which won Best New Director at Brooklyn International Film Festival, New York in 2003, and was nominated for Best UK Feature at Raindance International Film Festival 2003.
She lives in London with her artist husband, and is working on a debut novel. The book is a complex, captivating story seen through the eyes of a woman obsessively stalking her ex-lover with possible dark intentions. The defiantly humorous narration serves to win our sympathy, whilst her absurd and sometimes dangerous behaviour keeps us perpetually in conflict as to the state of her sanity and calls into question her take on reality.
