Biography


Di Mambro studied at Glasgow University, Girton College, Cambridge, and Bolton College of Education, before becoming a teacher. She gave up teaching to write for theatre.[5] Her plays have been performed in Scotland's main theatres as well as touring to other venues across Scotland.[6] From 1989 to 1990, she was the Thames Television Resident Playwright at the Traverse Theatre in Edinburgh.[5] She has been commissioned to write plays by the Traverse Theatre and by Cumbernauld Theatre.[6] She won the Susan Smith Blackburn Prize for 1994-5.[7]

In addition to theatre plays, she writes drama for British radio[8] and British television.[9][10] These included multiple episodes of the BBC's popular continuing dramas: Doctors, River City, EastEnders and Casualty.


Machair


Di Mambro was also screenwriter on the first ever long-running Gaelic drama television serial Machair created by Peter May and Janice Hally. Along with Hally, Di Mambro wrote scripts in English before they were translated into Gaelic. Fewer than 2% of the Scottish population are able to speak Gaelic but the show achieved a 30% audience share, making it into the Top Ten of programmes viewed in Scotland.[11] Machair was nominated for production and writing awards at The Celtic Film Festival and by Writers Guild of Great Britain[11]
