About me

I'm Peter,

and I'm a Midlands-born, Essex-based playwright.

My work usually leans towards exploring the more grey, marshy areas in society, often through the lens of the working class, with a tendency to find an acute balance between comedy and tragedy. Treading that extremely thin line is where I feel most comfortable. I've also developed an attraction to creating historical fiction pieces, investigating how certain times in the past have affected our present and future.

Since being on the Mercury Theatre Playwright's Programme in 2023/24. I have been shortlisted for the 2025 Adopt a Playwright Award, the 2025 Peter Schaffer Award, and the 2025 George Devine Award.

​

I've had plays workshopped at the National Theatre Studio and the Almeida Theatre, and am currently working on five exciting new projects.
