My Take
Jack Thorne is one of those writers whose name deserves to be far better known than it is. He glides between stage, film and television with a fluency that most writers never achieve in a single medium, and his Tony Award and Royal Society of Literature fellowship signal that this is craft, not mere commercial luck. What impresses me most is his instinct for the quiet emotional truth inside big stories, whether it is Harry Potter and the Cursed Child or Wonder. He is the rare invisible architect of modern storytelling, and I find that kind of unshowy mastery genuinely admirable.
