Brian McNeill was the Company's Writer in Residence from 1980-2 (writing Smelter Skelter, What an Exhibition and The Perfumed Business Woman in that time) and Robert Lord in 1991. The latter was commissioned to write Academic Circles but his premature death meant that the script was never completed.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Fortune Theatre Trust|title=A Celebration of 30 Years Live Professional Theatre: The Fortune Theatre Dunedin New Zealand 1974-2004|publisher=Fortune Theatre Trust Board|year=2004|location=Dunedin NZ|pages=13, 19-20}}</ref>
