All Stories Are True
I have been a scriptwriter since about 1998 when my first play Killing Time was performed at Theatre Royal Windsor. I have written at least a dozen plays as well as spending two years on Eastenders and writing several screenplays. I now teach scriptwriting at Northumbria University where I set up the Drama and Scriptwriting programme in 2005 I am still writing the most recent production was The Prize at Live Theatre and the Edinburgh Festival in 2012. Continuum - received its staged reading at Live Theatre on 1st May 2014. I wrote and performed Based on a True Story, an autobiographical performance piece in November 2013 showcased at The Arc Stockton Scratch night. On this website you will see samples of my work a record of performances and publications as well as some self indulgent reflections on scriptwriting and storytelling (see the blog where there are links to a couple of articles). |
