Philip is a playwright, a writer of short stories and the author of the odd poem or two.

He also reads his stories at public and private events, turns up at poetry slams, has created and performed his own one man show, and will even come to your own home to give a live performance (though generally only when invited to do so…..)

His work for the stage includes:

Charlie - a play exploring the rewards and challenges of living with a disabled child - a winner in the Gloucestershire Postcode new writing competition, professionally performed script-in-hand at Prema in Gloucestershire.

Herbie and The Saints - a play with songs about Southampton Football Club - professionally performed at Southampton’s Nuffield Studio Theatre in summer 2011.

But Not Gagged - a short play looking at the relationship of a disabled young woman and her non-disabled boyfriend - chosen from 350 entries and performed at the second Waterford Festival of New Plays in 2011.

Celebrity Love Hero - a one man comedy show about love, celebrity and a drawn test match between England and South Africa! - performed at The North Devon Fringe Festival in 2010.

Philip’s 15 minute stories are written for adults (but he insists that calling them ‘adult stories’ would suggest something else entirely). They are great fun, contemporary, humorous and sometimes rather touching. He has read them with the Heads and Tales story-telling company in Bristol, at The Green Man Festival and at the Croissant Neuf Festival in summer 2010.
