Sean Buckley is a British writer for television, film and theatre. Born in Balham, South London, he studied drama at the École Jacques Lecoq in Paris. He began his career in theatre, with his first play *Matches for Monkeys* joint winner of the Verity Bargate Award; other stage work includes pieces for Paines Plough and Radio 3. In 2007 he was Pearson Writer-in-Residence with the Royal Shakespeare Company.
