Norman Charles Hunter (18 September 1908 – 19 April 1971) was a British playwright whose plays attracted such notable actors to perform them as John Gielgud, Wendy Hiller, Sybil Thorndike, Ralph Richardson, Vanessa Redgrave, Michael Redgrave, and Ingrid Bergman. His play A Picture of Autumn was revived off-Broadway by the Mint Theater Company in 2013.[1] Hunter's play A Day by the Sea was revived off-Broadway by the Mint Theater Company in 2016.[2] It subsequently had its first major UK revival at London's Southwark Playhouse with John Sackville in the title role of Julian Anson.[3]
