Mārtiņš Zīverts

Mārtiņš Zīverts (27 July 1903 in Mežmuiža, Vilce parish – 4 October 1990 in Stockholm, sweden) was a Latvian playwright.

Zīverts was born in Mežmuiža, Courland Governorate (now Vilce parish, Jelgava municipality, Latvia).

While he often worked as a laborer, he continued to write and direct plays, and served as chairman of the Latvian PEN center.
