Peter Skyte

Peter Skyte is a former national union official with Unite and its predecessors. Having spent most of his working life working on rights, he turned to working on writes, stimulated by a local evening class course in north London.  

 

He has written a number of short plays. 2084 was the winner of the Player Playwrights Spring 2016 competition. Two other short plays, Women Behaving Badly and Nul Points, both achieved awards in Player Playwrights competitions. There is No Alternative, a fictional encounter between Margaret Thatcher and Desmond Tutu, is itching for production and performance.  

 

Peter has also published Allotment Plots, a series of interlinked short stories (loosely) inspired by allotment activity, a pure work of fiction based appropriately on mental rather than physical spadework.
