內容簡介

才華洋溢的劇作家賽門‧史蒂芬斯在2014有個收穫豐富的一年，有極多作品進行世界首演，包括在家鄉曼徹斯特的皇家交易所劇院（Royal Exchange），在倫敦皇家宮廷劇院（Royal Court）Downstairs Space上演重要新作，在楊維克劇院（Young Vic）上演契訶夫譯作；人氣劇作《深夜小狗神秘習題》移地百老匯演出，同時期也在德國進行許多新創作計畫。除了這些創作之外，他也持續扮演年輕輩劇作家、演員與導演的導師，更敢於在劇本創作界發聲，持續不懈地提出犀利、具有洞見的發言。

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.
