writing
His first play ‘All manner of means’ formed part of a ‘celebration of new writing’ at BAC. It was time out critics choice and transformed for a sell out run at The Kings Head.
Michael’s play seduced was presented at the multi-award winning finborough theatre as part of their new british plays season. Seduced explores our contemporary obsession with class and sexuality during an explosive couple swapping evening. His play ‘Under The Influence’ is due to go into production next year and he is currently working on a new play.
