J. Graham Reid (born 1945) is a playwright from Belfast, Northern Ireland.
==Background==
Born into a working-class family in Belfast, Northern Ireland, Reid left school at age 15, served in the British army,〔(Answer.com )〕 married young,〔()〕 but returned to education and graduated from Queen's University in 1976. He became a teacher at Gransha Boys' High School in Bangor, County Down but left in 1980 to concentrate on his writing career. His first play, ''The Death of Humpty Dumpty'' is a story about an innocent man who gets caught in the cross fire of the troubles in Belfast.〔(Los Angeles Times May 4, 1991 )〕
Characters in his work ''The Hidden Curriculum'' were based on pupils and teachers from the school he taught at. His trilogy, colloquially known as the Billy plays, for the BBC's ''Play for Today'' series, were his breakthrough works. These are ''Too Late to Talk to Billy'' (1982), ''A Matter of Choice for Billy'' (1983) and ''A Coming to Terms for Billy'' (1984). The lead in these television plays is a young Kenneth Branagh, who had previously worked in Reid's futuristic play ''Easter 2016'', which was screened as part of the BBC's ''Play for Tomorrow'' series. It was while working on the later two Billy plays that Reid met the actress Gwen Taylor whom he later married.〔(Gwen Taylor: Me & my money )〕 In 1992 he wrote a screen play for the movie ''You, Me & Marley''.
