STUART LEE
Mainly been working in Universities all my life where I teach English literature (focus on early medieval, world war one, Tolkien). Outside of academic writing my theatrical writing career includes: 'The Ghosts May Laugh' (produced December 2003 Burton Taylor Theatre, Oxford; August 2004 Greyfriars Kirkhouse, Edinburgh); 'The Attic' winner of the 2007 Oxford Writers/Oxford Playhouse New Writing Competition (produced September 2007 Burton Taylor Theatre, Oxford); 'Never Tell Them' winner of the 2008 Oxford Writers/Oxford Playhouse New Writing Competition 2008 (produced September 2008 Burton Taylor Theatre, Oxford). I have had two short plays on at the Oxford Playhouse Playbites competitions - 'Leafmould' and 'The Intricate Workings of a Sherbet Lemon'. The former was also produced by Semper Theatre Company as part of their 'Wonder' competition (Birmingham, 2010) and the latter was produced as part of the Off-Cut Festival, Red Lion Theatre, London (2009).
Currently working on production of 'Never Tell Them' as part of the Oxford Fringe Festival (24-27th March 2010). I have also one unproduced play 'Quiz Night at the Britannia' (workshopped by Players Playwrights, London, 2006). |
