Biography of James MacDonald

Disabled from birth with cerebral palsy, I have lived in America, France and England. Author of 30-odd plays, most of the staged plays for students of Exeter University's drama department. My most frequent director has been Martin Harvey, former Associate Director of the Northcott Theatre, Exeter, now Teaching Fellow in Drama at Exeter. I am married to Russian-born Inna Rodina, naturalized British whose father fought at the Battle of Stalingrad. My plays most often concern physical and social deformity, dislocation, estrangement. Most of them now have a Russian background as well. A collection of them will soon be published by Intellect, under the title Russia, Freaks and Foreigners. The plays aspire to a comic grotesque style.
