Jim Grover (playwright)

Jim Grover (born 13th June 1948 in London) is a playwright whose plays have been seen in theatres in London, Edinburgh, Newcastle and North Wales. In addition to theatre performances his works have been re-played in schools, universities and community arts spaces for educational purposes and in aid of charitable causes. His tendency to political theatre and use of such historical characters as Rembrandt, Marlowe and Victor Grayson has made him recognisable beyond the traditional audience. The Royal Academy of Arts commissioned performances of "Provenance Helpline" during their major Rembrandt's Women exhibition at Burlington House and the writer was seen in an extended prime-time television appearance concerning historical characters from "Glass Hero". Originally trained as a musician, he has acted, directed and produced for the stage.

A keen exponent of the web through his [http://www.nakedtheatre.co.uk/ Naked Theatre] he has also written satirical news poetry, created idiosyncratic virtual galleries and libraries and also developed and pioneered "write-on-line", a live exposure of the developmental process of the playwright's craft. His weekly Internet audiences have occasionally exceeded 50,000 people.
