Amelia Bullmore studied Drama at Manchester University. Having started out as an actress, she began writing in 1995 and continues to do both. Her first stage play, Mammals, had an extended sell-out run at the Bush Theatre in April 2005 and a successful national tour in 2006. It was also co-winner of the Susan Smith Blackburn Prize and shortlisted for the What's On Best New Comedy Award. Bullmore's second play was an adaptation of Ibsen's Ghosts, premiering at the Bush Theatre in 2009. She wrote two episodes of the second series of This Life for World/BBC2, and devised the series Black Cab for World/BBC2, writing three of the episodes. Bullmore wrote two episodes of the first series of Attachments, also for World/BBC2. She was a Dennis Potter Award Finalist in 2000 for her original 90-minute drama, The Middle (owned by Compulsive Viewing/BBC).

"It connects emotionally with the audience, and is wittily written . Bullmore makes you like, and believe in, her three characters . The play also has a careering energy . impossible not to like." The Guardian
