Life
Wallace obtained her Bachelor of Arts from Hampshire College and two Master's degrees from the University of Iowa.
Naomi Wallace divides her time between Kentucky and the Yorkshire Dales in Northern England (UK), where she lives with her partner Bruce McLeod, with whom she has three children.
A press release describes her as "a dedicated advocate for justice and human rights in the U.S. and abroad, and Palestinian rights in the Middle East."
She was detained after defying the ban on travel to Cuba.
Her plays are published by Faber and Faber in London, and Theatre Communications Group and Broadway Play Publishing Inc. in the US. Wallace's work has been produced in both the United Kingdom, Europe, the United States, and the Middle East.
In 2009 One Flea Spare was incorporated into the permanent répertoire of the French National Theatre, the Comédie-Française. Wallace is the only living American playwright to enter the répertoire. Only two American playwrights have ever been added to La Comédie's repertoire in 300 years: the other being Tennessee Williams. The play was translated into French by Dominique Hollier.

“Whoever takes a view of the life of man ... will find it so beset and hemm’d in with obligations of one kind or other, as to leave little room to suspect, that man can live to himself: and so closely has our creator link’d us together ... that we find this bond of mutual dependence ... is too strong to be broke.”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
“The fact which interests us most is the life of the naturalist. The purest science is still biographical.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
