Peter’s early career as a residential playwright at the Royal Shakespeare Company in the late 1970s and early 1980s saw him create works such as Savage Amusement, Awful Knawful and Our Friends in the North (1982). His adaptation of Our Friends in the North, was awarded numerous accolades from BAFTAs to RTS Awards, and was in 2000 voted by the British Film Institute as one of the 100 Greatest British Television Programmes of the 20th century. His film work includes The One and Only (2002) and Funny Bones (1995). His other television work has included the BAFTA Award-winning series Blind Justice (1988, BBC) and he recently he adapted Alan Hunter's Inspector Gently novels for the BBC (2007-2008).
At the 1997 BAFTAs, Peter was given the honorary Dennis Potter Award for outstanding achievement in television writing.
Martine Brant
Ever since completing her MPhil thesis on Wicked Women in the 17th Century, Martine Brant has continued to pursue her fascination for the period of history surrounding the English Civil War. Her home, which she restored together with her husband, is a 15th century manor house which had been sequestrated by Cromwell during the siege of Oxford in 1646, and her three daughters are direct descendants of the diarist Anne Lady Fanshawe, the wife of King Charles I’s Chancellor.
Out of this rich mix of influences and interests grew the story and the characters of The Devil’s Whore.
