Paul Gisby first began writing in the early 1990s in an attempt to prevent his job as a chemical plant safety manager from completely corroding his sanity. As the most consistent (and only positive) comment upon his first efforts at short stories and novels was “but, the dialogue's not bad”, he decided to try his hand at playwriting. Drawing upon his experiences attending small town writing circles, he wrote his first play Writers (later re-worked into the now published Write About What You Know.) A graduate of the English Touring Theatre's Playwright Group, his one-act play A Smell of Burnt Feathers won the 1999 Royal Mail 'Write Now' prize. |
Paul is a co-founder of the Cheshire based amateur dramatic group Theatre Zee, and with their help has managed to continue to stave off total mental degeneration by writing and presenting plays such as Tourney, Green Things in Space (a follow up to Write About What You Know), Perfect Duck. |
