About this Event
One of Britain’s most celebrated playwrights is interviewed by festival patron, the former BBC Radio 4 producer, Kate Fenton.
As funny in person as his plays, and as penetrating about human nature, this conversation promises a fascinating insight into his craft, his global success, and why as a Londoner – he chose Scarborough to be home.
The Olivier and Tony Award winning playwright has written 91 full-length plays, many of which have been produced in London’s West End and New York as well as around the world. His plays have been translated into more than 35 languages.
As an acclaimed director, Sir Alan has worked extensively in the West End and at the National Theatre. He was the Artistic Director of the Stephen Joseph Theatre, Scarborough, from 1972 to 2009.
Now in his 66th year as a playwright, Sir Alan continues to write and premiere work from his home in Scarborough, where he remains closely associated with the Stephen Joseph Theatre. His latest work, Earth Angel, will premiere there this September.
