Stage Drama

Glyn has written four full-length stage plays, one mid-length play, and several stage adaptations of short film screenplays.

Stage drama

Carabiners

Drama 

When both halves of a struggling couple have traumatic experiences on the same day, their relationship spins remorselessly out of control.

 

Full length play that explores a modern marriage, parenthood, sexual attraction, and the bonds that keep people together... and what can happen when they break.

 

It took my 10-minute play and short film of same name as its starting point, and follows Paul and Angie's stories for another two years.

​

Winner of 900 entries into The Stables Theatre New Writing Contest 2025. To be produced in 2026.

Arnold and Cherry

Drama / comedy

Gay octogenarian ex-professor of philosophy forms a friendship with underachieving carer at his residential home. She fears he is being gaslighted by the oh-so-caring matron.

 

Full length play dealing with themes of aging, friendship, and abuse of vulnerable old people in care. Produced online in 2021.

Christmas 1915

First World War drama

Soldiers on both sides of no man's land remember the unofficial Christmas truce of 1914, and want to replay the football match. But the general staff insist it must not recur.

​

Full length play set in enemy trenches within shouting distance of each other.

The Bloody Death of Edmund Ironside

historical play in verse

How Godwin, father of Harold II, negotiated Edmund and King Canute sharing the throne to end the war between Saxons and Danes, and how English treachery made Canute sole ruler.

 

Self-contained play, performed as a rehearsed readng in Hastings, 2018.

Short Is The New Black

short plays

Five short plays produced as part of the Hastings Theatre Fringe 2016. They were mostly stage adaptations of my short films.

 

No Signal is a comedy about a young man on a train, desperate to make a call to close a business deal that will make him rich, and the passengers who help and hinder him. It is the 'blue' section from my portmanteau screenplay, Prismatics.

Carabiners was not content to stay as a short, and shouted that it had substance enough to grow into a full-length play.

A Changed Man, Centurion and Teddy Bears made a virtue of being stagey short films, taking place in a single spot in real time.

What Would Jesus Actually Do was a series of sketches in which Jesus returns as a modern jobseeker, to find his skills aren't quite transferable.​
