About

Originally from Leeds, Robyn is a London based writer and director with a passion for creating joyful, ambitious and "goosebump inducing" theatrical experiences. 

​

With a predominant mission to entertain and push the boundaries of traditional story telling; Robyn also aims to create work which encourages a non-typical theatre audience to join the party, and leave them feeling empowered, invigorated and united. 

​

Robyn trained as an actor at East 15 Drama School and there started exploring writing and directing. She wrote her first show 'Buzz: A musical history of the vibrator' whilst in her second year at drama school and went on to have many happy years touring the UK with her company Fat Rascal Theatre. 

​

Robyn's work has since been seen in London's West End, and across the UK at venues including The Southwark Playhouse, The Birmingham Hippodrome, The Lowry, York Theatre Royal and The Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
She has won and been nominated for several awards including being shortlisted for a Writers Guild of Great Britain Award for Best Musical Theatre Book Writing in 2020.

​

She is also to this day Bargain Hunt's youngest ever contestant, a devout Stevie Nicks fan and slave to a vicious miniature Yorkshire terrier. 

​

"Much of the humour is in the vein of Victoria Wood, juxtaposing high camp action with humdrum concerns. Writer and star Robyn Grant knows comedy is in the everyday."
