James Dimelow has written several stage plays including Consequence, Romance and Jungle. His work has been praised by London’s Soho and Royal Court theatres.
On behalf of the Norwich 12 tourism and heritage initiative, James wrote the original screenplay for an online animation about the city’s historic Assembly House.
He has also written a Dickensian drama for Norfolk Museums Service and Gressenhall Farm & Workhouse. The Ghosts Of Gressenhall script was then subsequently displayed at the national heritage centre.
James wrote and directed the audio drama Pedigree to commemorate William Shakespeare’s 400th anniversary. The blackly comic short was published by Fine City magazine prior to its performance at the Maddermarket Theatre.
The British writer has also had a handful of magazine articles published, one of which featured James sharing his knowledge and experience of the playwriting process. These skills where then utilised further when James hosted a writing workshop.
An increased media awareness of James’ writing has led to several features and interviews. Partly due to the popularity of this website, James was invited onto BBC Radio to discuss his plays and writing career to date.
James has also successfully completed a Script & Screen Writing programme at the University Of East Anglia, along with the in-house Stage Management course at Theatre Royal Norwich.
He lives and works in Norwich, England. During his spare time, James enjoys reading, listening to music, playing snooker, plus visiting museums, in addition to going to quizzes and the cinema.
