Abi Morgan was born Abigail Louise Morgan in December 1968 in Cardiff, Wales. Her parents are actress Pat England and theatre director Gareth Morgan. Due to her mother’s career in repertory theatre, Morgan moved frequently and attended seven different schools as a child. Initially aspiring to be an actress, she later chose to pursue writing after studying drama and literature at Exeter University and completing a postgraduate writing course at the Central School of Speech and Drama.
Her writing career began in theatre in 1998 with her first professional stage credit, “Skinned,” produced at Nuffield Theatre, Southampton. She expanded into television writing in the same year with a credit on the ITV series “Peak Practice.” This quickly led to more significant television projects, including the 2004 Channel 4 drama “Sex Traffic,” which earned a BAFTA for Best Drama Serial in 2005. Morgan also made a notable impact in film, adapting Monica Ali’s novel “Brick Lane” in 2007 and co-writing “Shame” and writing “The Iron Lady” in 2011. Her work on “The Iron Lady” received a BAFTA Award nomination for Best Original Screenplay, and “Shame” earned a BAFTA Award nomination for Outstanding British Film.
