James Wood

James Wood grew up in Ipswich on the East Anglian coast and now lives and works in West London. A playwright by trade and a primary teacher by calling, his work has been staged across the capital, with productions at The Old Court Windsor, Libra Theatre, the Bread & Roses, and the Arches Lane Theatre at Battersea Power Station, where he was selected by Kibo Productions to present his play Prove It All Night! for a five-night run. His scripts - including Independence Day, Marin County, CLIFF, and The Wolves of St Matthew’s - blend character-driven storytelling with a keen sense of place and the lives shaped within it.
