Draft:Glenn Waldron

Glenn Waldron (born 1 June 1977) is an English playwright and screenwriter. His work has been staged throughout the UK and internationally.

Early life and education
Waldron grew up in Plymouth, the setting for his first play Forever House, and attended the University of Nottingham.

Career
Waldron 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.

Waldron's entry into playwriting was a short play directed by Phoebe Waller-Bridge for DryWrite at the Bush Theatre.

His breakthrough play was the critically-lauded Natives, starring Fionn Whitehead and Ella Purnell, staged at Southwark Playhouse following a production at Düsseldorfer Schauspielhaus in 2016. 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".

His play The Here and This and Now transferred to Southwark Playhouse in 2018 following a run at Theatre Royal, Plymouth. According to critic Fergus Morgan, the play "traces the tendrils of our anaesthetized, antibiotic-dependent society towards a stomach-churningly scary future".

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.

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.
