Timeline

1950

John Stephen Gerrard Jeffreys (22 April 1950 – 17 September 2018) was a British playwright and playwriting teacher.

He wrote original plays, films and play adaptations and also worked as translator.

Jeffreys is best known for his play The Libertine about the Earl of Rochester, which was performed at the Steppenwolf Theatre Company in Chicago with John Malkovich as Rochester, and later adapted into a film starring Malkovich and Johnny Depp.

1972

Jeffreys attended the University of Southampton, graduating with an English literature degree in 1972.

In 1975 he started working at the Royal Court Theatre in London as assistant electrician.

He began writing plays about the same time.

1989

His breakthrough as playwright was in 1989 when his play Valued Friends at the Hampstead Theatre in London won the Evening Standard Theatre Award and Critics' Circle Theatre Award for Most Promising Playwright.

It was based on his experience sharing a basement flat in London's Earls Court with three others who were also working in theatre.

1994

Starting in 1994, he worked as Literary Associate for the Royal Court Theatre for eleven years, contributing to the development of plays such as Mojo by Jez Butterworth.

Here, he also gave playwriting workshops, which were attended by playwrights such as Simon Stephens, Roy Williams and April De Angelis.

Stephens later said about Jeffreys: "Stephen Jeffreys is as important a teacher as he is brilliant a writer. Without him, I wouldn't have been able to write the plays that I have written."

Completed by his friends, colleagues and widow Annabel Arden, the book was published posthumously in 2019 by Nick Hern Books.
