Theatrical
Experience/Training:
Paul has been involved in both the professional and amateur theatre since
the age of 14 after he successfully auditioned for The National Youth
Theatre of Great Britain. A scholarship to R.A.D.A followed and he later
studied playwrighting at Edinburgh University. After a spell in repertory
theatre and with touring companies he got a ‘proper job’ and settled
down to life as an amateur player with a number of groups in South London.
Over the years Paul has won many awards at festivals for his acting and as
a director but it wasn’t until 1987 that he found his true vocation when
he won his first of many awards as a writer. His plays continue to win
awards at festivals around the U.K each year and they have also been
performed in Chicago, Melbourne, Prague, Stockholm, Madrid, Hong-Kong,
Gibraltar and most recently Canada.
