Peter Spafford's first commissions were large-scale community plays, two of them for the Shaw Theatre, London. Since then he has written plays for touring companies, including an adaptation of Silas Marner for Theatre Company Blah, Blah, Blah and Change Of Mind, a play about Alzheimer's Disease which was toured internationally by Mind The Gap. He has written plays for radio, including the verse play Soft Stones, and the trilogy The Wrong Side Of The River with Mary Cooper. Peter has also written for musical theatre and opera including, most recently, two operas for Ryedale Festival, Maggio's Magic and A Pig's Tale. Much of his work takes place in community settings, such as schools, hospitals and prisons. The monologue Getting It Right grew out of a two year residency with 'Father Figures' in Sheffield, an agency supporting lone fathers. He is currently writer-in-residence at The Royal Armouries in Leeds.

Notes: | Each year M6 commissions, performs and tours a series of powerful monologues which share the struggles, courage, conflicts and joys of different characters facing difficult decisions in their lives. This growing strand of M6's work enables the Company to perform powerful and contemporary stories in a classroom, theatre space or conference setting. The success of these monologues has led to their publication. All Talk - a selection of M6 monologues written by six North West based writers is published by Aurora Metro Press (2007). These short single voice plays provide audiences with intimate, emotionally charged performances, which act as a stimulus for meaningful and important peer discussions. The flexibility, intimacy and impact of M6's monologues and accompanying facilitated workshops enable young people to explore the emotions, motivations and choices of different characters at difficult crossroads in their lives. ABOUT: A project comprising 6 short, single voice plays by writers based in the North West. These powerful monologues share the struggles, courage, conflicts and joys of young characters facing difficult decisions in their lives. | |||||
