I’m doing a good deal of work for it in Islay this summer. And, no, I can’t deny that’ll be as good as a holiday.

Tank Man

On 11 July 2009 I spent an hour on the fourth plinth of Trafalgar Square as part of Anthony Gormley’s ‘One and Other’. During my hour I wrote a ten minute play inspired by the ‘Tank Man’ of the Tiananmen Square demonstrations of 1989. ‘Tank Man’ will be performed by Gillian Lees at the . . . → Read More: Tank Man

Background to ‘Funny’

Tim Nunn — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 06:49:11 +0000

In the late ‘80s I was campaigning against human rights abuse. Around 1989 I was shown a document by a researcher that was very sensitive at the time. It documented the abuses meted out by the UK security services in and had been leaked by an official with inside knowledge and first hand experience. . . . → Read More: Background to ‘Funny’

It opens with the . . . → Read More: ‘Only the Men’ review, The Times

Just get on with it

April 2008. I’m in the Stables flat of the Cromarty Arts Trust writing the script for ‘Hannah and Harvey‘. I have to confess to having spent a few days trying to think through some story problems but now I’m getting there. While I’ve been in the North of Scotland my niece Helen has been . . . → Read More: Just get on with it

Only the Men

When asked about ‘Only the Men’ I have often said that the idea for the show was born when I visited the village of Sanna in Ardnamurchan on the west coast of Scotland. What is nearer the truth is that the show is the story I needed to tell about my own family, the . . . → Read More: Only the Men
