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.

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...

Skegness 10K 2025

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.

Thrilled to announce that the micro film Messages which I wrote will be receiving a screening as part of WeirdFest at The Studio Below Liverpool on 21 February. Many thanks to the organisers for selecting it and it means that the film has now garnered four festival laurels. weirdwonderful.co.uk

On the start line for the Skegness 10K.

12th to 15th Feb - Head to sunny Preston for this fabulous production of 'The Invincibles' @blogpreston.co.uk @venyhamin.bsky.social @footballandwar.bsky.social @researchdogsbody.bsky.social 🎭⚽️💚https://www.blogpreston.co.uk/event/the-invincibles-2/💚⚽️🎭

Benjamin Peel has had work produced across short film, audio and theatre. He is thrilled to have had The Three Stages of Monica accepted for Make It Write Productions WeirdFest and is looking forward to seeing it brought to life by the talented cast and director. TICKETS: store.makeitwrite.org

Kevin Foott has directed a number of pieces for Make It Write Productions including two award winning shows performed at the Leverhulme Drama Festival; The Tea Party by Helen Dooley and The Keys by Brian Hutchinson. Kevin is ‘looking forward to bringing this piece to life.

It's the Women's Euros this summer so if anyone knows of a company looking to stage a play about a women's football team that formed in Preston during WW1 do get in touch or let them know please. Not a Game for Girls has now received five productions and is published. Thank you.

The play is now cast and rehearsals begin this week. More details to follow soon.

I didn’t meet her but I loved watching her play Farinelli and the King both in London and New York and meeting Mark Rylance backstage at the Belasco Theatre as my Dad was in it too. Deepest condolences to him and all her family. RIP Claire van Kampen.

Delve into the mysterious life of Monica as she experiences a bizarre sequence of events. This surrealistic drama has moments of dark comedy as the stakes are continually raised. Can Monica work out what is happening and escape from wherever she is?

Thrilled to be part of this.

Wishing everyone a healthy and productive New Year.

My last piece of this year to be performed so thanks very much to Act Your Age Productions for choosing it and the actor for performing it so well. As the credits are at the end do watch them all and see if you can guess which one I wrote.

Merry Christmas everyone. youtu.be/QLi3At0Mh9w?...
