Glenn Waldron (born June 1, 1977) is a playwright and screenwriter. His work has been staged throughout the UK and internationally.[1]
Early life and education
editGlenn Waldron grew up in Plymouth, the setting for his first play Forever House, and attended the University of Nottingham.[2]
Career
editWaldron began his career as a fashion journalist and magazine editor. He was Editor of i-D magazine and has written for publications including the New York Times, The Guardian, British Vogue and The Independent.[3]
Waldron's entry into playwriting was a short play directed by Phoebe Waller-Bridge for DryWrite at the Bush Theatre.[2]
His breakthrough play was the critically-lauded Natives,[4] starring Fionn Whitehead and Ella Purnell,[5] staged at Southwark Playhouse following a production at Düsseldorfer Schauspielhaus in 2016.[1][6] Lynn Gardner writing in The Guardian described it as "unfurling with the tension of a thriller, in 90 minutes that gets right inside the confusions and emotional complexities of the teenage mind".[7]
His play The Here and This and Now transferred to Southwark Playhouse in 2018 following a run at Theatre Royal Plymouth.[8] According to critic Fergus Morgan, the play "traces the tendrils of our anaesthetized, antibiotic-dependent society towards a stomach-churningly scary future".[9]
In 2021, Waldron wrote the shortform drama series Fracture for Channel 4 and luxury fashion house Balmain, starring Charles Melton, Tommy Dorfmann and Jesse Jo Stark, directed by Bradley and Pablo.[10]
In 2023, he wrote on Netflix series Everything Now, produced by Left Bank Pictures and Sony Pictures Television.
His plays are published by Nick Hern Books.[1]
