- Andrew Dallmeyer (10 January 1945 – 21 May 2017) was a Scottish playwright, theatre director and actor. He wrote over 75 plays, including the Opium Eater and directed more than 50 productions. His plays have won a number of awards, including a Scottish BAFTA, and they have been played on BBC Radio. Some of Dallmeyer's plays have been considered controversial, for example Wanted: Dead or Alive which focused on Osama Bin Laden's motives and was released on the first anniversary of the September 11 attacks.

- "Sometimes people tell me I'll be successful when I'm dead, but I believe if you write something worthwhile it will survive. But writing is something I've always done because I have to get something out there." (en)
- "True theatre cannot be institutionalized. It is rough, outlaw, dangerous, rabid, and might just bite. Like the Fringe. It sprawls uncontrollably. It needs a trim." (en)
