2014 was a spectacular year for playwright Simon Stephens, who has been described by the Independent as a brilliant writer of immense imagination and by the Financial Times as having emerged in this millennium as an outstanding playwright.2014 was a year for Simon Stephens which featured a high number of world premiere plays including one for the theatre of his birthplace, Manchesters Royal Exchange, a major new play for the Downstairs space at Londons Royal Court, and a Chekhov translation for Londons Young Vic a transfer of his West End hit The Curious Incident of the Dog in the NightTime to Broadway and projects in Germany, a country which has seen Stephens lauded, in which he has worked extensively, and which has shaped much of his dramaturgy. In addition to these major projects, Stephens continued his role as a mentor of young writers, actors and directors, and continued to be one of the most frequent, outspoken and fiercely intelligent voices of the playwriting scene. In an exceptionally honest account, Simon Stephens opens up to us, through daily diary entries, his working practices, his innermost thoughts, his philosophy on theatre, the arts and politics, and his feelings and reactions to specific projects he has worked on. Through this, we are given unprecedented access to the mind of one of the most important playwrights of the twentyfirst century.
