Professional playwright & director specialising in plays for youth theatres

Aaron was recently awarded a DYCP grant by the Arts Council to develop plays for youth theatre. Creating new and exciting work that young people want to perform.

He has also written plays for large youth groups, with his play ‘Youth’ being very well received during the Brighton Fringe and Starboard festivals and recently Fading into Darkness, which was met with high praise.

“I’m really proud of these plays. I loved the process of developing them with different casts of young students from all backgrounds. They are the perfect mix for young actors to relish performing and adults to enjoy watching. I hope you have as much fun staging them as I had creating them.”
