So. Who is Pat Wollaston?
Pat has now retired from treading the boards and decided to turn to writing after almost 40 years on the amateur stage as award winning actor, director, producer, stage manager and general dogsbody (not necessarily in that order). The majority of those 40 years were with various groups under the umbrella of the Royal Navy Theatre Association (RNTA). He had written Pantomime scripts for many years for whichever company he was with at the time, then in 2005 he was asked to try his hand at some 'real' script writing.

This play has now been produced across the UK and has been produced in Australia where it was performed as part of the Victoria Drama League Festival. |
