Samuel Adamson (born 27 November 1969) is an Australian playwright and screenwriter who has lived and worked in the UK since 1991. He was born in Adelaide and lives in London.

Samuel Adamson's debut play was Clocks and Whistles at the Bush Theatre in 1996 in a production directed by then-artistic director Dominic Dromgoole, with a cast including Kate Beckinsale, John Light and Neil Stuke.[1] It was later produced in Germany and New York. The play led to him becoming Pearson Writer in Residence at the Bush from 1997 to 1998.[2]

Adamson’s second play was Grace Note, starring Geraldine McEwan, in 1997 for the Peter Hall Company at the Old Vic, which was also directed by Dromgoole.[3] His next play was Drink, Dance, Laugh and Lie at the Bush in 1999.[4]

He has written versions of Henrik Ibsen’s plays. A Doll’s House, directed by Thea Sharrock, was the tenth anniversary production at Southwark Playhouse, London, in 2003,[5] while Pillars of the Community at the Lyttleton at the Royal National Theatre was directed by Marianne Elliott in 2005 and starred Damian Lewis and Lesley Manville.
