James Barry Writer of very funny plays/pantomimes

James has worked as an actor, writer and director all over the gaff, from Southampton to Edinburgh and most stops in between - with a brief sojourn in Paris, showing them how "Puss in Boots" should really be done.

He has written 18 professionally performed theatre shows, covering a wide range of styles and subjects. Both "Sherlock's Excellent Adventure" and "Three Musketeers" were written as alternatives to traditional pantomime, but can be performed at any time of year and work equally well in front of any age or mix of audience, from 5 to 105, whilst "Puss in Boots" is very much a traditional pantomime, but deliberately written for a small cast. (There is a large cast version of Puss in Boots, by Stuart Ardern available elsewhere on the Lazy Bee Scripts site.)

TV writing credits include "Number 73", two series of "Your Mother Wouldn't Like It", "Palace Hill" and (for shame) "Bobby Davro's TV Weekly".

For 5 years James was the artistic director of Ici D'Art Theatre Company, where he specialized in touring revivals of neglected classics, from Roman comedy, via Aphra Behn to German Expressionist drama. James now lives in Farnham, with one wife, one son and a laptop.
