Gemma Lawrence is a writer and actor from London.
Gemma's debut play Sunnymead Court opened at the Tristan Bates Theatre in September 2020. It follows the story of two queer women who live in tower blocks opposite each other and begin a relationship from the safety of their balconies during the first lockdown. It was nominated for an OFFIE for Best New Play and named as a 2020 hit show of the year by The Stage.
Her second play Rewild was longlisted for the Women's Prize for Playwriting 2021 and the Theatre503 International Playwriting Award 2023.
She was chosen to be a member of the Orange Tree Writer's Collective 2021-22, where she wrote her third play Clown Clown Baby, with dramaturgy from Guy Jones and workshopped by director Ned Bennett.
Press for Sunnymead Court
‘Sunnymead Court is truly a breath of fresh air... Lawrence’s writing is buoyant.’ - A Younger Theatre
‘Over the coming years, there are likely to be many plays written about the 2020 lockdown. Let’s hope that they possess the same lightness of touch and sense of hope that Sunnymead Court provides.’ - The Stage
'It reminds us of the joys of love – and of live theatre.' - The Guardian
'Deeply compelling in its pacing and momentum.' - Exeunt Magazine
