About the Writer Hello! This is me, Michael Starr, i'm a playwright from England. I like to write... about... stuff! I focus on frustration. You know, such instances as being stuck somewhere with little or or no chance of escape from something annoying, such as a salesman trying to sell you life insurance, or a traffic jam that just doesn't move... that's my forte baby!
I'm a bit of a traditionalist really, much of my work is very British in humour, and I do enjoy classic comedy, particularly slapstick / comedy farce material. Who doesn't?
I like to keep things simple and often work with single set plays. Within any of my works, you’ll find specific elements such as simplicity, awkwardness, frustration, anger, slapstick and strong characterisation. That’s consistent. I have a specific style, it’s a style I’ve developed over time. If you do not like one of my plays, there’s a strong possibility you’ll not like anything I write generally.
Anyways, check out some of my work below, all exclusive to Production Scripts :D |
