Becoming a Playwright

There’s been a new turn of events in the last few weeks which is very exciting.

Not long ago I bumped into an old friend that I used to do drama with as a teenager. We had a cup of tea and a great chat about all the people we used to know and before the tea was cold I had agreed to write a play for her theatre company, In Debt Theatre. She’d had this great idea for a play, had a director who was interested, but was looking for a writer.

Without giving too much away, the subject matter is right up my street (Second World War) and I’m hard at work on the research already. I’m also reading lots of drama. I used to go to the theatre all the time, especially when I lived in London, but over the last few years I’ve got out of the habit. That’s about to change. I’ve already been to see ‘Keep Smiling Through’ at the Tobacco Factory in Bristol, which I really enjoyed, and I’ll be checking out the theatre at the Alma Tavern in the coming months.
