About

Hattie was studying painting at the Slade School of Art when her first play was accepted in the BBC Radio Young Playwrights Festival. She then went on to study mime, and set up and ran the art club Puzzle Club with david Ellis, performing regularly with other contributors which included Iain Sinclair, Martin Jacques (Tiger Lillies), Ansuman Biswas and Marc von Henning. Since then she has concentrated on writing.

She has won several national and international awards for her plays and has had a number of her stories broadcast on Radio 4, including MATHILDE, which opened the Bath Literary Festival in 2008. Recent broadcasts for BBC Radio 4 include SOLARIS, J'ACCUSE, concerning the Dreyfus affair, and THE MAKING OF IVAN THE TERRIBLE, based around an archived conversation between Eisenstein and Stalin.

Theatre and opera work include MOTHER SAVAGE for Travelling Light, the opera ODYSSEUS UNWOUND for Tête à Tête, and THE NUTCRACKER for Theatre Royal Bath. She is currently developing a play for Theatre Royal Plymouth concerning the Manchester Strangeway's riots, BEN HUR for the Theatre Royal Bath, and for Radio 4 she is adapting Samuel Richardson's CLARISSA for the Classic Serial, and IVAN AND THE DOGS, the story of Ivan Mishukov, a boy who lived with a pack of dogs on the streets of Moscow in 1998 (broadcast late 2009).

Hattie teaches scriptwriting on the MA in Creative Writing at Bath Spa University.
