Enn Vaigur (until 1936 Heinrich Lilienberg, 12 December 1910 \u2013 21 August 1988) was a playwright.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tVaigur was born to a family with many children on Aruv\u00e4lja farm at Padise, Harjumaa County. Until 1920, he studied at \u00c4mari village school, from 1920\u20131924 at Padise primary school and from 1924\u20131926 at Vana-V\u00f5idu agricultural school. He worked as an office clerk and a construction worker in Harjumaa County and in Tallinn.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tVaigur attended courses for amateur theatre directors in Tallinn where he acquired basic skills in dramatic arts. He became a theatre enthusiast. Vaigur wrote popular plays, directed them and played on the stage. His first play with songs, Kraavihallid<\/em> (\u2018Ditch Diggers\u2019, 1935), was staged by nearly all professional theatres in the year it was published. The play about five optimistic vagabond workers brought a fresh vibe to the stage. The young author charmed with his immediacy and sincerity, vivid dialogue, scenes in a jolly mood, enjoyable energetic folksy characters. The critics were benevolent; their only reproach was compositional looseness. Until 1940, eight Vaigur\u2019s plays were published in print, but none of them was as successful as the first.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tDuring World War II, Vaigur was assistant to the director and actor Paul Pinna at the Estonian SSR National Art Groups in Yaroslavl. In 1943, he was sentenced to prison for ten year because of political accusations. Vaigur served his punishment at the prison camps of Kasakhstan.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter being released, he settled at T\u00fcri where he lived until his death. From 1956, Enn Vaigur began to publish plays again; they were widely played by country amateurs, rarer by professional theatres. In the later period, Vaigur also wrote more serious plays which reflected the dramatic recent history.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tVaigur has also written short prose. He has published two collections of short stories.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tHe was a member of the Estonian Writers\u2019 Union from 1964.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tVaigur translated works of Russian playwrights (A. Arbuzov, M. Zarudny, A. Stein and others) into Estonian. His plays have been translated into Russian, Ukrainian and Lithuanian and have been staged in Latvia and Lithuania.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
