      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, Manchester's Royal Exchange, a major new play for the Downstairs space at London's Royal Court, and a Chekhov translation for London's Young Vic; a transfer of his West End hit The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time 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 inner-most 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 twenty-first century.

      Vtipný, no zároveň dojímavý a fasinujúci príbeh pätnásťročného chlapca s Aspergerovým syndrómom, ktorý jedného dňa nájde na dvore zavraždeného susedkinho psa a rozhodne sa vraha vypátrať na vlastnú päsť… Táto kniha je detektívka. No nie je to celkom obyčajná detektívka. Vyšetrovateľom a zároveň rozprávačom príbehu je Christopher Boone, pätnásťročný chlapec s Aspergerovým syndrómom. Je výborný v matematike, pozná všetky krajiny sveta a ich hlavné mestá, dokáže vymenovať prvočísla až do 7 507 – ale ľudské emócie celkom nechápe. Rád si robí zoznamy, zbožňuje vzory a pravdu. Neznáša žltú a hnedú farbu a to, keď sa ho niekto dotýka. Sám sa nikdy nevybral ďalej ako na koniec ulice – ale keď jedného dňa nájde na dvore zavraždeného susedkinho psa, okamžite sa rozhodne, že musí zistiť, čo sa stalo. Vydáva sa na hrôzostrašnú cestu, ktorá mu prevráti život naruby.

      Four plays inspired by and originating on the European stage from one of Britain's most important playwrights. Three Kingdoms was presented at Teater NO99 in Tallinn, Estonia on 17 September 2011, before opening at the Munich Kammerspiele, Germany, on 15 October 2011. 'An inconsolable mood of dread, abandon, violence and suspicion lurks beneath the show's skin of arty insouciance, and at times the script attains a lyrical pitch of accusation against the West that quite overrides the flippancy. There's something of value here.' Daily Telegraph; The Trial of Ubu premiered at the Schauspielhaus Essen in a co-production with the Toneelgroep Amsterdam. 'The play certainly gets at the banality of evil, and evokes the slow, sometimes dull, often uncertain slog of justice.' Sunday Times. Subtitled 'A Play For Young People', Morning was developed in partnership between the Lyric Hammersmith, London, and the Junges Theater, Göttingen. The Financial Times described it as 'theatrically daring and uncompromising'; Carmen Disruption, a reimagining of Bizet's opera, premiered at the Deutsche Spielhaus in spring, 2014, before its UK premiere at the Almeida, London, in April 2015. 'You can't help but be moved by the circumstances facing the five main characters. There's an understanding and a compassion amid the bleakness. And a fierce sense that something needs to change.' Guardian;
