Tin Bath Theatre (the company I setup with director Gemma Fairlie) has been awarded an Unlimited commission to create a children’s show called Bee Detective. Here’s the press release. I’ll be writing and performing.
Script reading at Channel 4
I’ve just completed a screenwriting course at Channel 4, during which I wrote a pilot episode and series outline. It was a lot of fun to write, and I was often laughing as I typed. I’m indebted to all the good people who helped me with research.
Last weekend actors read the script at Channel 4 HQ. I sat on the edge of my seat, watching and waiting for all the lines to land in the way I’d anticipated. The actors read it beautifully and I was relieved to see everyone laughing (it’s a comedy drama). Feedback is very promising.
The script is now going out to production companies.
