West made his move into directing in 2002 at Chichester Festival (with The Lady's Not For Burning) but he will continue to act, he says. He was already due to direct Insignificance at Sheffield in February 2005 before the appointment was made.

DEALER'S CHOICE premiered at the National’s Cottesloe Theatre in 1995, later transferring to the West End’s Vaudeville Theatre and winning the Evening Standard Award for Best Comedy. Best known at that point as a stand-up comedian and TV sketch writer, Marber partly based his playwriting debut on his own experiences with gambling addiction. Two years later, he followed it up with Closer. Marber’s other writing credits include Howard Katz, After Miss Julie and Don Juan in Soho on stage, and Notes on a Scandal on screen.
