Jonathan Maitland (Writer) Jonathan Maitland was a broadcaster and journalist for 30 years before becoming a playwright. His debut play 'Dead Sheep', about the famous Geoffrey Howe speech which brought down Mrs Thatcher, broke the box office record at Park Theatre in London and went on a three-month national tour. His follow up, 'An Audience with Jimmy Savile' broke the records set by his debut and was called 'the most talked about play of 2015'. His third, 'Deny Deny Deny', about the moral dilemmas of doping in sport, premiered at the Park in 2016 and has been performed in several territories in eastern Europe. 'The Last Temptation of Boris Johnson' is his fourth play and will be staged this May at Park Theatre. Sky Arts have secured an option to broadcast it on their TV channel (dates yet to be confirmed) . His radio play 'The Rem Co', about fat cat salaries in the City of London, aired on Radio 4 in October 2018. He has also written sketch and comedy material with and for Chris Morris, Rory Bremner and Alastair McGowan. He lives in Chiswick with his wife and son.
Dugald Bruce-Lockhart (Director) After some fifteen years as a professional actor, Dugald moved to the other side of the rehearsal room. In 2011, Dugald became associate director for Edward Hall's all-male Shakespeare ensemble, Propeller, directing numerous 'pocket' (1 hour) productions of their previous full-length shows. In 2013 and 2014, Dugald directed two Catalan Shakespeare productions for Teatre Akademia in Barcelona, remaining Time Out's number one choice for six consecutive weeks. In 2019 he directed Indivisible Irene for The Ink
Festival in Suffolk and Pigeons at the Hen and Chickens. In 2020 Dugald directed the tour of The Last Temptation of Boris Johnson, having also appeared in the play's premiere production at the Park Theatre.
