Writer of very funny plays and pantomimes
Working in the Following Genres:
Pantomime
Plays With (Optional) Music
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 writes and directs the Theatre Royal Winchester's panto (this year is his 15th) and also writes the script for Hopkins Associates at the Princes Hall panto in Aldershot (this year is his 16th!). |
He has written 50 (and rising) 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. He also writes traditional pantomimes, frequently for a small casts. |
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 Weymouth. |
