"Pulling the plug on the BlackBerry could cost corporate America millions of dollars. The BlackBerry is more than e-mail but a handheld office, and if you shut down the BlackBerry, you shut off the data that powers American business." -- Al Smith
Al Smith is a British dramatist and theatre director.
In February 2005, Smith directed Chalk, which he had written, and produced under his own production company name Kandinsky, at the Bedlam Theatre. The following Fringe, he wrote, directed and appeared in Enola which won the Three Weeks Editors Award and was selected for NSDF.
His third play, The Astronaut Wives' Club was performed in August and September 2006 at the Soho Theatre for the National Youth Theatre's Soho Sextet, and his fourth play Radio premiered at the 2006 Edinburgh Fringe, before transferring to the Soho Theatre, London. It was then taken to 59E59, New York City and later commissioned as an Afternoon Play for BBC Radio 4.
He famously has a tattoo of the Edinburgh Tattoo on his right hip.
In April 2006, his play Enola, which tackles the deeply trying controversies surrounding the creation and deployment of the atom bomb during World War II, won him the Sunday Times Playwriting Award.
He is a Playwright-in-Residence at the Finborough Theatre, London through which he won a Pearson Bursary for Radio in December 2006. In April 2007, he won a second Sunday Times Playwriting Award, also for Radio. He also wrote the short play Mayfly for the New Voices 24 Hour Plays at the Old Vic.
He is a young writer at the Royal Court Theatre, is currently attached to Paines Plough, and through the Writers Academy at the BBC is part of the regular writing team on Holby City. He is also the Co-Creator and Co-Exec Producer of The Cut, on BBC2.
At school Smith was a noted middle-distance runner.
