In May 1926, Britain grinds to a halt, as workers down tools for the General Strike. With the printing presses shut down, the only sources of news are the government''s British Gazette, edited by Chancellor of the Exchequer Winston Churchill, and the independent, fledgling British Broadcasting Company, led by John Reith. The stage is set for a fierce battle over control of the news and who gets to define the truth. Jack Thorne''s When Winston Went To War With The Wireless is a gripping play about the birth of a great British institution and its efforts to stay impartial. It premiered at the Donmar Warehouse, London, in June 2023, directed by Katy Rudd, with Stephen Campbell Moore as Reith, Adrian Scarborough as Churchill, and Haydn Gwynne as Stanley Baldwin.

Richard Burton, the firebrand Welsh actor, newly married to movie star Elizabeth Taylor, is to play the title role in an experimental new production of Hamlet under the exacting direction of John Gielgud. But as rehearsals progress, the collaboration between actor and director soon threatens to unravel. One of them is the most famous movie star in the world; the other, a patrician from an earlier age of theatre. The stage is set for two titans to collide. Jack Thorne''s The Motive and the Cue is a fierce, funny play which offers a glimpse into the politics of a rehearsal room and the relationship between art and celebrity. Commissioned and co-produced by Neal Street Productions, it opened at the National Theatre, London, in May 2023, directed by Sam Mendes and featuring Johnny Flynn as Burton, Mark Gatiss as Gielgud and Tuppence Middleton as Taylor.

After the breakout success of his early work for stage and screen, Jack Thorne turned for inspiration to his own family for a series of plays about hope, idealism and domestic politics. The work in this collection - five full-length plays and two shorts - showcases his extraordinary ability to combine electrifying dialogue with heartfelt warmth, candour and humour. Hope (Royal Court Theatre, 2014) is a funny and scathing fable about the leaders of a local council faced with savage funding cuts. ''A surprisingly entertaining state-of-the-nation drama'' The Stage The Solid Life of Sugar Water (Graeae/Theatre Royal Plymouth, 2015) is an intimate, tender play about loss, hurt and rediscovery. ''Startlingly good... an adult play in the very best sense'' The Times Junkyard (Headlong, 2017) is a joyful celebration of imaginative play, a musical drama about a group of young people tasked with building a playground out of junk. ''Genuinely funny and poignant'' WhatsOnStage the end of history... (Royal Court, 2019) is a moving and sophisticated portrait of the impact of political idealism on a family. ''Clever and highly intriguing'' Independent Also included are Burying Your Brother in the Pavement, written for the National Theatre Connections Festival in 2008, which tackles complex themes of grief, violence and sexuality with fierce compassion and wild imagination; and two short plays: Whiff Whaff and Boo.

"Põhineb J.K. Rowlingu, John Tiffany ja Jack Thorne''i uuel lool. Kaheksas lugu. 19 aastat hiljem. Harry, Ron ja Hermione on nüüd juba täiskasvanud, neil on endal lapsed ning nad elavad oma igapäevast elu. Harry on Võlukunstiministeeriumi teenistuja, tööd on palju ning võib-olla ei suuda ta iga kord kõige paremini mõista oma lapsi, eriti aga Albus Severust, kellele on isa kuulsus pisut liiga ränk koorem. Siis aga näitavad mitmed märgid, et kogu must maagia ei ole veel maailmast kadunud ning see, et Harry arm on uuesti valutama hakanud, üksnes kinnitab Harry, Roni, Ginny ja Hermione kahtlusi. Taas pead tõstvale pimedusele peavad omal kombel vastu astuma nii vanemad kui ka lapsed."--Rahvaraamat.ee.
