Steven Ayckbourn


Biography

Someone recently asked me what my greatest dreams are as an author I'd like to see happen?

I've reached a point in my career (life) where whatever I do I try to do for enjoyment (as in personal fulfilment). Mostly this continues to remain an aspiration, but when one does touch that place it is special. I'd like to think the efforts I make are reflected not only in my role as an author, but the values I bring to living. So what would I like to see happen? To pass this sense of enjoyment to others, so they might experience it - preferably through my writing.
