Tony Diggle

Tony's professional career has been in information science and management consultancy but creative writing has been a lifelong interest

 

He has been a member of Player-Playwrights (P-P) since 1995. He was Assistant Programme Secretary from 1996 to 1998, and was then Treasurer of P-P for 26 years. During that time he was involved in the managing and financing of showcases and productions on their behalf at (among other venues) the Arts Theatre Soho Theatre, Tristan Bates and the King's Head Islington.

 

He has been an active member of the Questors Theatre Ealing since 1981 and has appeared with them on tour at the Edinburgh Festival and the Minack Theatre Cornwall. He was an active Friend of Shakespeare's Globe for over 30 years.

 

He has had a number of plays read at P-P during his membership. He later produced two of them at the Chelsea Theatre with a professional cast and crew: Show me the Money, a City comedy (in 2013), and A Kingdom for a Stage, a play about Shakespeare returning to London today (in 2016), to coincide with the four hundredth anniversary of the bard’s death. Both these plays were subsequently published by Troubador. Another of his plays. Facing the Enemy was also published by Troubador in 2021.
