Writers: Playwrights

David manages to combine the careers of actor, writer, director, producer, composer and magician.  For many years, he has been recognised as the ‘national children’s dramatist’ (Irving Wardle, The Times) and his plays have been performed all over the world. He was awarded the OBE in 2004.

 
THE GINGERBREAD MAN

“the perfect children’s play” (Time Out) “a consistently fresh and  enjoyable writer who combines attractive tunes and good humour with considerable dramatic vigour…..pacy storytelling which is packed with manic chases, gloriously corny jokes and hair-raising escapes from death.” (Evening Standard)

MEG AND MOG SHOW

“an ideal family outing, especially for those whose appetites have become jaded by more traditional Christmas fare.” (Financial Times) “It should enchant children and adults alike” (Time Out)

THE WITCHES

“this verminous entertainment has a good hiss-and-boo rating and can be warmly recommended to dutiful parents as well as their children” (Daily Telegraph)

“In the season of licensed much, along comes David Wood’s cracking adaptation…” (Guardian) “Terrific.” (Time Out)

GEORGE’S MARVELLOUS MEDICINE

“Nasty, naughty fun.” (Times)

GUESS HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU

“You have to be pretty artful to turn a picture book of few words into a 55 minute show for the under-fives, and David Wood does it with charm and confidence.” (The Guardian)
