Christopher Hampton Biography

Sir Christopher James Hampton CBE FRSL is a British playwright, screenwriter, translator and film director. He is best known for his play "Les Liaisons Dangereuses" based on the novel of the same name and the film version "Dangerous Liaisons," which received the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay. He was nominated in the same category for his 2007 film adaptation of Ian McEwan's novel "Atonement."

Hampton became involved in the theatre while at Oxford University. The Oxford University Dramatic Society (OUDS) performed his original play "When Did You Last See My Mother?," about adolescent homosexuality. He drew from his own experiences at Lancing. Hampton sent the work to the play agent Peggy Ramsay, who interested William Gaskill in it. The play was performed at the Royal Court Theatre in London, and soon transferred to the Comedy Theatre; in 1966, Hampton was the youngest writer in the modern era to have a play performed in the West End. Hampton's work on screenplays for the cinema also began around this time.

Hampton was nominated for a Golden Globe Award in 2021 for Best Adapted Screenplay with Florian Zeller for their feature "The Father," starring Anthony Hopkins and Olivia Colman.
