Theatrical Experience/Training:
Angela found
her flair for writing whilst in a workshop with the Royal Exchange
Theatre in Manchester, in association with her Theatre Studies A Level
at Altrincham Girls' Grammar School. The outcome was the first of
three short plays, ‘Deafening Silence’, which went on to win the
Write Now 2000! Competition at the Liverpool Everyman Theatre.
Having been involved with the acting side of theatre since the tender age of eight, performing in musicals such as ‘Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat’, appearing in many plays for youth and adult theatre and taking leading roles like ‘Cinderella’ and ‘Aladdin’ in pantomimes, Angela wanted to try something different, following in the footsteps of her talented father, writer and co-founder of The Playwrights' Co-operative, Ian Hornby. Having completed her honours degree in Creative Writing at Manchester Metropolitan University, she further took an interest in Sign Language and became very enthusiastic about writing for the disabled, especially the deaf - this is what spurred on her dissertation piece which was a dramatic script.
She
is now looking to write
more scripts, and is especially interested in creating more material
for children and the disabled. Watch
this space! We are certain you will be seeing more from her soon!
