Jack MacGregor is a writer, director, and dramaturg from Inverness, now based in Edinburgh. Jack is the award-winning writer-director of political dramas Nightlands (Dogstar Theatre) and Everything Under the Sun (O’Neill Ross), the latter winning both a Fringe First and Scottish Arts Club Leading Light Award. Jack’s writing explores fringes of Scotland and the wider world, seeking to bring the edges into the centre by finding drama in unlikely places; from the forestry estates of the Black Isle and the long winding darkness of the A9, to the deserts of northern Mali and the abandoned the arctic colonies of Svalbard.

They always strive to tell unique provocative stories that balance a depth of knowledge with the human heart. Jack is the writer-in-residence for the IASH/Traverse Fellowship 2026.

Jack has been a resident artist with the National Theatre of Scotland, an associate artist with Dogstar Theatre Company, and was a fellowship writer for the Scottish Society of Playwrights (SSP@50). Jack has also been supported by Playwright Studio Scotland and the Michael Grandage Company (MGCfutures). Jack has been a part of BBC Writers Voices Scotland (2025), facilitated work with Scottish Youth Theatre, and is proud to have been part of the Cromarty-based artist collective "We Have Questions".
