Gregory Motton (born September 1961) is a British playwright and author.[1] Motton is best known for the originality of his formally demanding,[2][3] largely a-political theatre plays at the Royal Court in the 1980s and 1990s, state of the nation satires in the 1990s,[4] and later for his polemics about working class politics, A Working Class Alternative To Labour[5] and Helping Themselves – The Left Wing Middle Classes In Theatre And The Arts.[6]
He speaks fluent Swedish and is one of the chief translators[7] of Strindberg's plays, known for his strict advocacy of translations rather than versions.[8]
