Wassily Sigarew was born in 1977 in Werknjaja Salda near Swerdlowsk in the Urals. He studied biochemistry in Nischni Tagil, but applied for a place at the Nikojai Koljada’s course of scriptwriting at the Institute of Theatre in Jekaterinenburg. Sigarew was accepted and he turned out to be one of the most exceptional graduates from the Koljada hotbed. His catalogue of titles counts no less than fourteen plays.
