About Dave
I wrote and directed my first play while still a student, at the age of 20. Since then I have directed my own work at theatres including the main house of the Hackney Empire, and worked with other professional theatre directors on productions at venues including Riverside Studios, the Cockpit and the King's Head. I have written and directed short films and recently shot a feature in the South of France, with a name cast and Emmy-winning cinematographer, due in festivals in 2021.

Whatever stage you're at in your screenwriting or playwriting project, I'll help you pick apart the script, uncover problems and find solutions. We can talk characters, dialogue, story structure and the practicalities of staging or filming your work. It can start with you sending me your work in progress, or we can start with a blank sheet of paper and think about how your idea can best be brought to life. My approach to writing is something like Charlie Parker's "learn the changes, then forget them" approach to jazz: think technically, think about structure, break it down, then try to forget it all and channel your instincts. If you're a complete beginner we can start by looking at the underlying principles of storytelling - character, structure, conflict, resolution - and think about the relationship between a writer and their writing and what you personally want to get out of your work. If you've written previously for the screen and want to cross over to theatre, I have experience of both and can help you understand the important differences and how you might want to adjust your approach.
