Jamie Chisholm
I began writing short plays two years ago while at university, and have recently finished my first full length play. Being that I have spent my entire life living in between East London and Essex, I look in and around this surrounding area for inspiration and ideas to write about. I find watching how many different people react in everyday situations fascinating, and spend far too much money texting myself little crumbs of dialogue I hear people say as they go about their everyday lives. An avid supporter of Tottenham Hotspur, I am used to living high drama and tragedy!

Michael J Flexer
Michael J Flexer has written several full length plays.  These include Heart of a Dog (Assembly Rooms, Edinburgh) and My Brother’s Keeper (C Venues, Edinburgh and Pleasance Islington).  He has written opera librettos for Second Movement Opera Company, one for Mozart’s The Impresario and the other for Offenbach’s The Two Blind Men, which were performed at the Covent Garden Film Studios in 2006 and 2007 respectively.  Most recently, for his own theatre company Apikoros, he directed and devised an adaptation of Joseph Conrad’s The Secret Agent, which premiered at the Brighton Festival Fringe this May.  He also writes children’s fiction.
Josh Hart
A 20 year old student at Manchester University. Current member of the National Youth Theatre, most recently performing in 20 Cigarettes. Interested in many forms of literature; plays, poetry, short stories. Hope to get involved in writing for radio soon. After completing studies plans to become an actor/writer. I admire professionals who make their own work, and who take risks. Enjoy work ranging from Tim Crouch to Pinter, whatever is honest and brave and entertaining.
Daniel Kanaber
I've written one play to full production, Anything of Worth, which was performed at The Bridewell and then transferred to The Pleasance.  My next play, Touch Sensitive, is currently being work-shopped for a full production in 2008 by Box of Tricks, and I have recently been commissioned to write a one hour play for the SGV Cancer Charity.  I studied English Literature at Manchester University, and then performance at Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts and I have been acting professionally for the past two years
