Jack Thorne (born 6 December 1978) is an English screenwriter and playwright.
Born in Bristol, England, he has written for radio, theatre and film, most notably on the TV shows Skins, Cast-offs, This Is England '86, This Is England '88, This Is England '90, The Fades, The Last Panthers and the feature film The Scouting Book for Boys. He currently lives in London.
It's rare for scripts to be released in physical books, so getting a chance to read the scripts for Netflix's Adolescence was an enjoyable experience. Jack Thorne and Stephan Graham wrote four truly gut-wrenching scripts, and it was fascinating to notice the little differences between the original scenes and the final one-shot recordings of the episodes.
