Alan Ayckbourn's Official Website is now taking original commissions for articles about Alan Ayckbourn and his plays suitable for programmes (professional and amateur companies), special publications and print-media (newspaper & magazine) articles. All commissions are written by Alan Ayckbourn's archivist, Simon Murgatroyd, who has written articles for the West End productions of Alan's plays, world premieres, Ayckbourn-directed revivals and major Ayckbourn events amongst others.

In 2009, Simon Murgatroyd also published his first book on Alan Ayckbourn Sight Unseen: The Unseen Ayckbourn Guide looking at Alan Ayckbourn's career through withdrawn plays, unpublished plays, concepts, variants, alternative versions and titles, screenplays and other ephemera. As Alan Ayckbourn's Archivist, Simon is unique in exploring this side of Alan's work so extensively and was able to draw on previously unknown and unacknowledged material for the book.

Simon Murgatroyd is considered an expert on Alan Ayckbourn and his plays and welcomes any enquires regarding possible articles and commisions.
