Adam Brace was a British playwright and director renowned for his socially conscious works. His debut play, Stovepipe, received critical acclaim for its site-specific production and exploration of the Iraq War.

Brace contributed to the Royal Court Theatre as a writer and dramaturg. In 2010, he was part of a team of writers involved in Peckham: The Soap Opera, a community-based project by the Royal Court that engaged local residents and artists Bola Agbaje and Rachel De-lahay to create a piece reflecting the diverse experiences of the Peckham community in South London. His involvement in this project demonstrated his commitment to using theatre as a means of community engagement and storytelling and helped develop new voices in British theatre and advance contemporary playwriting.
