Andrei Kureichik is one of the foremost playwrights, screenwriters, and producers in Belarus. His plays have been performed at the prestigious Moscow Art Theatre and Janka Kupala Theaters in Moscow and Minsk, as well as at numerous theatres throughout the former Soviet Union.Prior to 2020, as a writer and director, Kureichik was beloved for his comedies and suspense thrillers. Following the contested presidential elections and brutal aftermath in Belarus in August 2020, he has gained an international following as a political playwright. Forced to flee the country as a member of the Coordination Council working with perceived winner Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya's transition team, Andrei leveraged his creative energy to produce the documentary play, Insulted. Belarus, about the 2020 presidential elections, subsequent protests, and violent crackdown by Alexander Lukashenko's regime in Belarus. Already, the play has been translated into 29 languages and received 250 readings and performances across the globe (including Hong Kong, Nigeria, throughout the EU, UK, and North America). Articles about the play have been published in Plays International and Europe, Contemporary Theatre Review, the Boston Globe, Dialog, among many others, and forthcoming in Theatre Journal.

It has been featured on BBC Radio's "The Cultural Frontline," and by the HowlRound Theatre Commons. His newest play, a verbatim piece about Belarusian political prisoners, Voices of the New Belarus, is beginning to receive similar recognition.As a member of Coordination Council of Belarus, Kureichik was awarded The Sakharov Prize of Freedom of Speech by the European Parliament. He became a Yale World Fellow in 2022 and in 2023 accepted a position as Lecturer at Yale University.
