Profile Information:

What I do:: Playwright and writing tutor
A little more about me:: Born and raised in Cardiff, I trained as an actor, but dallied with wrestling and nude underwater modelling before writing science theatre for schools for many years. Since moving back to theatre work my first critical success was ‘The Mysterious Gentleman’ a play incorporating stage magic effects, produced at the Cheltenham Playhouse. I'm currently working on an Arts Council England funded play with music called ‘The Secret Life of Dads’, for the Guildhall in Gloucester. I also won the Writer's Guild award for theatre encouragement for my work with a group of playwrights in Gloucester.
Location:: Gloucester
Projects I’m working on:: 'The Secret Life of Dads' is a comedy about growing up.
Three fathers try to escape nappies and nursery rhymes and relive their youth by reforming their old band. There’ll be live music on stage as they get ready for a battle of the bands contest, while dealing with the pressures of being role models for their kids.
Written by award winning playwright Jarek Adams, and created especially for the Guildhall in Gloucester. It’s a comedy about growing up for anyone who’s struggling with that, aged 5 to 105.
With music by George Moorey & Directed by Jilly Breeze
