Rob Shearman

BIO

Playwright and screenwriter Robert Shearman has written many audio scripts for Big Finish Productions’ Doctor Who stories, though he is perhaps best known for writing the television episode “Dalek,” which was loosely based on his audio play “Jubilee,” and the acclaimed “Deadline” as part of the Unbound series featuring Sir Derek Jacobi. “Dalek” has now been adapted into a Target novelization, written by Shearman himself.

His other works include The Chain Gang for BBC7, and the award-winning collections Love Songs for the Shy and Cynical and Everyone’s Just So So Special. He was appointed resident dramatist at the Northcott Theatre in Exeter and has received several international awards for his theatrical work, including the Sunday Times Playwriting Award, the World Drama Trust Award and the Guinness Award for Ingenuity in association with the Royal National Theatre.

We are happy to welcome him back to Chicago TARDIS after 10 years!
