Stanley Houghton bol významným britským dramatikom začiatku 20. storočia, ktorého diela často skúmali spoločenské napätie a premeny vtedajšej Anglicka. Preslávil sa predovšetkým svojou schopnosťou zachytiť dobový jazyk a zvyky, čím jeho hry získavali na realizme a nadčasovosti. Jeho najznámejšie dielo, uvedené prvýkrát v roku 1912, je dodnes považované za kľúčové pre pochopenie raného moderného britského divadla. Houghton sa venoval divadelnej kritike a publikoval články v prestížnych novinách, čím aktívne prispieval k vtedajšej literárnej kultúre.
