A character in a play by this author reminisces about a big poker victory achieved by convincing himself he had an "invisible straight." This former columnist for The Observer fictionalized the British newspaper industry in a novel about John Dyson. In another novel by this man, a Land Rover crash destroys a mysterious painting which Martin believed to be a lost creation of Pieter Brueghel. A 2003 play by this man includes Helmut Schmidt and Willy Brandt as characters and dramatizes the Guillaume affair. A play by him discusses an incident which was later labeled an objection to work on nuclear weapons by a real-life participant; that play dramatizes the 1941 meeting between Werner Heisenberg and Nils Bohr in the title city. He also wrote about alcoholic Selsdon Mowbray and airheaded Brooke Ashton's frustrating of director Lloyd Dallas. For 10 points, name this British playwright of Copenhagen and Noises Off.
