Sydney Shaun Lawton (born 1941 in New Marske, North Riding of Yorkshire) is an English playwright, poet, actor and singer/songwriter. Lawton is probably best known for his Desperado Corner, which has been described as a 'sprawling, four-act, mad, wonderful play... about working class boys from Redcar standing in pools of piss swearing'.[1] Lawton showed the play to Di Trevis, who directed its premier in the Glasgow Citizens Theatre in 1981.[2][3][4]
Lawton later played film roles in Anonymous (2011).[7]
