Were William Boyd and Jim Thompson both screenwriters?
William Boyd (writer) William Boyd, CBE (born 7 March 1952) is a Scottish novelist and screenwriter.
Sam Thompson (playwright) Sam(uel) Thompson (21 May 1916 – 15 February 1965) was a Northern Irish playwright best known for his controversial plays "Over the Bridge", which exposes sectarianism, and "Cemented with Love", which focuses on political corruption. His works fall into the social realist genre but are distinct in their dramatisation of Northern Irish issues; they were ground-breaking in documenting sectarian violence before the eruption of the Troubles.
