About the Writer I am a transgender playwright who currently directs and writes for two companies Bristol Experimental Theatre Company and Motley Theatre Company. Over the years I have written forty plays most of which have been staged. Four of my plays have been staged at The Edinburgh Fringe Festival, my work has also appeared many times at The Glastonbury Festival and in different venues throughout the country. I have worked and written for numerous companies since my initial training in America and Canada during the sixties with director such as Del Close and Ted Hicks. Bertolt Brecht has had a huge influence on my work and consequently my plays are issue driven and not plot based. I have also written and had published a book of short stories 'Minor Works' and a book of poetry 'Lovely Nonsense'. I have been involved with major art works for over forty years and staged numerous community plays and events.
