Matthew Ford Playwright

I am a playwright living in Cheltenham, looking to build a relationship with theatre companies based in the South West, to develop my work with them and hopefully have it performed.

My work is very much in the horror genre. I'm obsessed by your old-fashioned ghost stories by writers like M.R. James and Charles Dickens as well as psychological horror films such as Robert Wise's 'The Haunting' and Nicolas Roeg's 'Don't Look Now'.

My script, 'A Second Chance' has been selected for Ignite Festival 2013. The performance will be a rehearsed reading at The Globe Inn on Thursday 6th June at 19:00. Tickets are £6.00 and are available via the Ignite website:

If would be fantastic to see you there, if you can make it. Any feedback and suggestions are always welcome!
