Has recently been named a 'Hotshot of 2006' by Broadcast Magazine following his Coming Up darama THE SPASTIC KING, episodes of SHAMELESS and the new E4 series SKINS. His critically acclaimed play WHEN YOU CURE ME ran at the Bush Theatre in 2005, where he is currenly under commission. Other plays include PAPERHOUSE (Flight 5065) and SOLIDS (Paines Plough/Wild Lunch at the Young Vic) and his short film A SUPERMARKET LOVE SONG was shown at Sundance 2006. He is currently writing a film for Celador, an original drama for BBC's Decades project and a play under attachment at the National Theatre Studio.

'a darkly gripping achievement, probing the most horrifying extremes of human behaviour with compassion and a rigorous moral and intellectual curiosity...Stephen Keyworth's production is engrossing, with a bleak design by Georgia Lowe reeking of deprivation and menace. Among a superb cast, Elicia Daly's Mary is unforgettable, an uneasy blend of vulnerability, bravado and savage rage. Like the play as a whole, she is sad, scary and uncomfortably fascinating'
The Times

'Christopher Daley and Simon Darwen are immensely appealing as the soldiers; Diana May is pitch-perfect as the confident Lucy'
Financial Times

'Thorne has a brilliant way with dialogue in both episodes and he is served here by a superlative cast'
