Tim Fountain je spisovatel, dramatik a občasný performer. Jeho tvorba se často zabývá tematy identity, sexuality a britské kultury, přičemž využívá ostrý humor a provokativní jazyk. Jeho hry a knihy prozkoumávají okrajové postavy a společenské normy s jedinečným pohledem, což z něj činí výraznou postavu současné britské literatury a divadla. Fountain také rozšiřuje své umělecké aktivity psaním pro televizi, rozhlas a noviny.

With a childhood surrounded by alcoholism and petty cruelties, an adolescence of rebellion and punkish anarchy and an adulthood peppered with heroin addiction, voluntary crucifixion, failed suicide and a penchant for sex with prostitutes, Sebastian Horsley’s life was always destined to become a work of art. An artist, dandy and author who was perhaps best known for having undergone a voluntary crucifixion in the Philippines before beginning a regular column in The Erotic Review, Horsley’s memoirs focused on his dysfunctional family, his drug addictions, sex, and his love of prostitutes, and unsurprisingly became a cult literary sensation. Soho Theatre's theatrical version, has been adapted from Horsley’s no-holds-barred memoir and directed by fellow moral delinquent Tim Fountain. This insane tale of the prototype of modern day dandyism has now found its spiritual platform in the heart of the crazy village he likes to call home. Dandy In The Underworld premiered at Soho Theatre in the summer of 2010.
