John Waterhouse
John started writing in 2001 after taking part in a Murder Mystery game and deciding to have a go at writing one himself.
Having had a lifelong love of 60’s and 70’s British comedy, it was not long before John decided to try playwriting as well and this led to joining Writers’ Lab at the Coliseum Theatre, Oldham and Primary Creations at the Dancehouse Theatre, Manchester; both of which helped in developing the craft of script writing. The Scriptworks playreading group at the Contact Theatre, Manchester also became a valuable source for honing work.
John's plays have been performed as far afield as Lisbon, Luxembourg, Lincoln and Glasgow ranging from small fringe venues at festivals to established theatres such as The Dancehouse in Manchester. In addition to full-length plays, John has written several short stories and sketches over the last ten years as well as five novels.
