Sarah Daniels

Sarah Daniels (born 1957 in London [1]) is a British dramatist. She has been a prolific writer since her first performed play was given a production at the Royal Court in 1981. Daniels’s playwriting career took off after she was able to spend a year as the writer-in-residence of Sheffield University’s English department. Her plays have appeared at other venues including the National Theatre, the Battersea Arts Centre, the Crucible, Sheffield and Chicken Shed. She has also written episodes of the soap-operas Grange Hill, EastEnders and Holby City.

Daniels was involved in the "Video Nasties" debate of the 1980s, in which she mistook a scene from low-budget horror film Snuff (film) for a real-life Snuff Film[2].

Daniels is a popular and critically acclaimed writer and has had two collections of her plays published by Methuen. Daniels has also been a member of the board of directors for Clean Break (theatre company). Sarah's civil partner of many years, activist and schools inspector Claire Walton, died in 2009.
