Luke Norris is a writer of stage and screen. His professional debut GOODBYE TO ALL THAT was performed at the Royal Court and was widely acclaimed; the Telegraph commented that ‘we’re in the presence, unquestionably, of a playwright of major promise’. His next play SO HERE WE ARE, won a Bruntwood Judges Award and was nominated for two Manchester Theatre Awards. It debuted at High Tide Festival in September 2015 before transferring to Manchester Royal Exchange.

His third play GROWTH was performed at the Gate Theatre, the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama and the Edinburgh Fringe 2016 in Paines Plough’s Roundabout Theatre, where it won a Fringe First before heading out on a UK tour. It toured again with Paines Plough in September/October 2017.

Luke’s latest play was written under commission to the Bush Theatre, and he is writing a new play under attachment to the National Theatre New Work Department.

Luke has also written for the National Theatre Connections (HEARTS), which played at the Sheffield Crucible and the Shed Theatre at the National.

For TV Luke writes drama and comedy and has had original ideas under option to Lovely Day and Hat Trick. He was selected to participate in the Channel 4 Screenwriting Course 2014, which led to his original drama script AUTUMN.
