Daniel Guyton



    The Twisted Mind of Daniel Guyton



    Daniel Guyton is a published and internationally produced playwright, screenwriter, actor, director, teacher, and funny man. His stage plays have been produced over 600 times around the world. His screenplays have won numerous awards. He also acts and directs from time to time. He is primarily a satirist with a focus on the morally ambiguous and weird. His work is typically funny with a hint of gravitas. He does not enjoy writing about himself in the third person, but he has to pay the bills. He is a modest man. Mostly.
