Zoe Verbiceanu (September 18, 1893, Bucharest –December 30, 1975, Cetate, Dolj County) was a Romanian playwright and prose writer.
Born in Bucharest, into an old family of Oltenian boyars, she attended primary school in her native city.
[2] She was particularly known as a playwright; her works included Rikki-Tikki-Tavi (three-act comedy, 1920), Logodnica lui Don Juan (four-act drama, 1920, revised and expanded in 1962), Anacronicii (four-act drama, 1921), Da capo al fine (one act, performed multiple times on radio, 1931), Pălăria cu clopoței (three-act comedy with verse prologue, 1939) and Nastratin Hogea (three-act verse comedy, 1945).
The latter included William Shakespeare's Comedy of Errors (performed at the National Theatre Bucharest for the 1931-1932 season); Balade after François Villon (1940); and De-ale lui Nastratin, a free adaptation, from memory, of an anthology by Albert Wesselski (1974).
Suprema iertare, a 1958 three-act drama, with prologue and epilogue in verse, remains in manuscript form, as does an ample essay on Villon, together with a translation of his complete poetry.
