Nick Payne
Nick Payne (born in 1984) is a British playwright and screenwriter, studied at the University of York and subsequently at the Central School of Speech and Drama. He is also a graduate of the Royal Court Young Writer's Programme.
Payne's first play If There Is I Haven't Found It Yet which won the George Devine Award opened at the Bush Theatre in October 2009 and received a very strong response from critics with the Evening Standard calling it "a comic tour de force" and the Financial Times "a knockout". In September 2012 it was staged at New York's Laura Pels Theatre, starring Jake Gyllenhaal.
Payne's second play Wanderlust opened in September 2010, directed by Simon Godwin, at the Royal Court Theatre upstairs and also garnered excellent reviews.
In November 2010, Payne was shortlisted for the Evening Standard's Most Promising Playwright Award, but lost out to Anya Reiss.
He took part in the Bush Theatre's 2011 project Sixty Six Books, for which he wrote a piece based upon a book of the King James Bible.

Knock Down
by: PennywiseKnocked Down
One Hundred Million Souls are joined together.
All hope for something better.
And daring to just ask the question.
€œWhat is all this worth?€
Because the answers have all lost their meaning.
They got us all believing.
We really have a future?
And who will get there first?
Knocked down, stumble then you fall
Stay down, find some use for it all
No way, walk before you crawl
When will you fall?
So many hopeless lives have been forgotten,
Defeated once too often.
Just hoping to find resolution
Held down by a greater force.
In the search we find no solutions
And dream of revolutions.
But wake to find we're part of the problem.
So tell me what is worse?
Knocked down, stumble then you fall
Stay down, find some use for it all
No way, walk before you crawl
When will you fall?
When will you fall?
*When will you fall?
Knocked down, stumble then you fall
stay down, find some use for it all
No way, walk before you crawl
Knocked down, stumble then you fall
Stay down, find some use for it all
No way, walk before you crawl
Knocked down
Stay down
Knocked down
Sit down
When will you fall?
When will you fall?
When will you fall?
When will you fall?
