Alan Ayckbourn is the Artistic Director of the Stephen Joseph Theatre and the author of 71 plays.

The Stephen Joseph Theatre was founded in Scarborough by theatrical pioneer Stephen Joseph.

Stephen, the son of actress Hermione Gingold and publisher Michael Joseph, had seen theatre in the round in America and determined to bring it back to Britain. A series of events brought him to the seaside town of Scarborough on the North-East coast where in 1955 he established a tiny theatre in the round on the first floor of the Public Library.

The theatre flourished and in 1976 moved to a supposedly temporary home on the ground floor of the former Scarborough Boys’ High School at an initial conversion cost of £40,000.
