Tony Marchant Biography

Tony Marchant is one of the most popular and richest Screenwriter who was born on July 11, 1959 in East End of London, East End of London, United Kingdom. Tony Marchant (born 11 July 1959) is a British playwright and television dramatist. In 1982 he won the London Critics’ Theatre Award for Most Promising Playwright for The Lucky Ones and Raspberry. In 1999 he won the British Academy Television Awards Dennis Potter Award for services to television. His television work includes the acclaimed Holding On (1997), Never, Never, starring John Simm and Take Me Home.

Welcome Home, Marchant’s play about a squad of Falkland War veteran paratroopers meeting up to act as pall-bearers for one of their squad killed in the war, debuted at Hemel Hempstead’s Old Town Hall Arts Centre before being taken on a nationwide tour by Paines Plough which concluded at the Royal Court Theatre in 1983. It was later re-staged at The Old Red Lion in 1989.

Straddling theatre and television with Lazydays Ltd., produced at the Theatre Royal Stratford East in 1986, followed by London Weekend Television’s broadcast of The Moneymen in 1987, he has stated a preference for the theatre due to the feedback from a live audience, but his survival in the industry has been credited to his move to television.

Marchant’s final theatrical works to date consisted of The Attractions produced at Soho Poly, which was published by Amber Lane Press the following year, Marty Cruickshank produced at the Royal Court Theatre’s Theatre Upstairs, and Speculators produced by the Royal Shakespeare Company at the Barbican Centre’s The Pit, all in 1987.

His next two productions, Stiff and Raspberry, were put on at the Soho Poly in

1982. That same year The Lucky Ones was staged at the Theatre Royal Stratford East and later re-staged at Islington’s The Old Red Lion in 1986. These productions won him the London Critics’ Theatre Award for Most Promising Playwright that year.

His big break came in 1980, when his first play Remember Me?, which he had submitted to 20 theatres, was accepted and staged by the Theatre Royal Stratford East in London, an experience which he likens to winning the lottery. It was at this point that he ceased pursuing a career in heavyweight professional boxing, although, “getting punched in the face,” was, he has claimed, “very good preparation for being a writer.”

His second play London Calling, which took its name from a song by the Clash, was combined with Dealt With for the double bill Thick As Thieves, produced at the Theatre Royal Stratford East’s The Square Thing studio theatre in 1981. Looking back on his early career he has stated that at the time he wondered if he were part of, “some sort of liberal social engineering,” which advantaged him as an ex-boxer from a council estate with no university education.

BBC Television’s production of Raspberry in 1984 gave Marchant his break in television. He credits the smooth transition that he and his generation had into screenwriting to the vogue for televised plays during these decades.
