www.gofundme.com/f/the-long-p... As it’s my birthday today it would mean a lot if anyone can donate to the making of a short film I’ve written which is about the power of music to bring two people together. Any amount would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Had a New Year’s Eve 2025 walk down at Gibraltar Point Nature Reserve and the dunes have eroded further back to start exposing a pill box which looks like it has been covered up for decades.

Thanks very much to Steve Connolly and Act Your Age Productions for his great performance of my monologue inspired by the Wizzard song I Wish it Could be Christmas Everyday. youtu.be/UrVQtMeIjIM

If anyone would like to make a pledge, no matter what amount, towards the making of this short film I’ve written I’d be eternally grateful. It’s about two people connecting in a very unexpected way with music bringing them together. www.kickstarter.com/projects/the...

A still from the recording of my monologue Magic Carpets being performed live in Kyiv. It's at about 21.5 minutes into it. A wonderful performance by the actor so thank you for choosing it and thanks also to ProEnglish Theatre of Ukraine for organising the evening. www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9KI...

My play Children of God is having a rehearsed script in hand reading on November 29 in Summertown, Oxford. Please do come along if you can or let anyone know who might be interested. www.oxfordtheatreguild.com/news/our-nex...

Delighted to say my ghost story Past Performance is being read at this event in Liverpool.

There's a new play about women's football in the WW1 era being produced next year. Intriguingly it was written in Italian originally and produced in Milan although it is about a Sheffield team. Great to know that the subject is still retaining interest. www.sheffieldtheatres.co.uk/events/the-l...

Lincoln half marathon.

After the recent film about the Shakers leader Ann Lee here’s another one about an isolated religious community with unorthodox beliefs. Maybe there is scope for theatre works exploring similar ground such as my play Children of God.

The Voices of GAIA is on tonight at The Core at Corby Cube and it includes my piece Magic Carpets which can also be heard on the website. In it a young girl recounts a perilous sea voyage to what she hopes is a safer place to live.

Excited to be part of this again and my monologue goes out on September 22 and Talking Horse Productions is a theatre company based in Missouri.

After checking if I met the submission criteria I have now submitted to this opportunity.

Just submitted a piece to this opportunity.

Delighted to say that Children of God will be having a performed rehearsed reading in Oxford on 29 November. More details of how to book tickets will follow nearer the time. Many thanks to both Vicky Wild and @oxfordtheatreguild.com for making it happen.

Delighted to have had a monologue selected for Talking Horse Productions (Missouri) 2025 season.

With the Euros starting tonight here’s a reminder of the battles the women’s game has faced. Featuring a fantastic performance by Barbara Ashworth and brilliantly edited by Act Your Age Productions

Benjamin, Thank you for your submission! What a clever monologue! Your piece will be reviewed by our committee and you will be notified if it is selected to be performed.

Thrilled to be one of the runner ups in this opportunity and having my monologue Lifting the Ban be part of a live performance on June 10 in Bristol. www.thescratchtheatre.co.uk/shortscriptw...

Messages, our ambiguous micro short, recently finished its festival run. Writer Benjamin Peel has written a fabulous breakdown of his approach to writing the piece- you can find it on our website. Link in bio 🎬🐈‍⬛

Infuriating.

Almost 100 years ago in June 1925 the annual beach racing event was held on Skegness beach. This monologue imagines Ivy Cummings near the end of her life reflecting on her past glories. BarbaraAshworth gives a great performance as Ivy. youtu.be/xfsN0mNhoCI?...

I have two pieces in this publication which is available now from Amazon. amzn.eu/d/1fyRkJ0

My copy came in the post today and my two pieces are The Curse of Yallery Brown, a contemporary retelling of the Lincolnshire folk tale and The Vicar of Stiffkey which imagines Billy Butlin witnessing Harold Davidson performing his fateful Daniel and the Lion act on Skegness seafront in 1937.

The publication I have a couple of pieces in is now on sale. I’m looking forward to the book launch in Louth and all the other great events going on so please do come along if you can. amzn.eu/d/7sGkXce

It all seems to happen at once with writing. Delighted to say that my monologue Lifting the Ban will be performed live on stage at an event in Bristol this June as it was one of the runner ups in their latest call out.

I am delighted to say that I have two pieces in this upcoming publication. Do come along to the event if you can which has talks, music and a film. @occultaria.bsky.social @culturebabylon.bsky.social @lincsfolk.bsky.social

Spent the last few days editing this down to a 45 minute audio version with a much reduced cast of characters so hopefully it’s a tauter tighter piece. Much of it takes place in confined indoor spaces and I think that could be reflected really well in the sound design.

An interview I was asked to do recently so here are my ramblings. theatrereviews.wixsite.com/reviews-are-...

The writer and director Kevin Foott with their award certificates from last night for The Three Stages of Monica. It received best production and best script.

Not sure if I posted this lovely review before.

Originally from Belfast, Jason is now living in Liverpool. His play DeadHead, which he wrote and directed, was performed this year at the Hope Street Theatre. He most recently performed as Joey in The Lieutenant of Inishmore, at the Everyman Theatre. store.makeitwrite.org/product/biza...

This is on BBC Sounds as its one where listeners can request dramas that have not been broadcast in a long time. It features my Dad as one of the crew in a rare radio drama appearance. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

More great news on the writing front as this is having a public reading on February 25 at Hope Street Theatre in Liverpool. Still need actors for the roles so if anyone is interested do let me know.
