Tom Draper
Playwright Theatre Director Screenwriter Film Director ActorMy name is Tom Draper (he/him). I am a playwright and theatre director as well as a screenwriter and film director. Predominantly I am interested in playwriting. I mostly write tragic comedies and absurdist comedies, but am open to branching out into other areas of writing such as historical tragedies and political dramas. Themes that I am particularly interested in are addiction, corruption and climate change. I also run a YouTube sketch comedy channel and regularly make short films.
