Foote Print Play Scripts
Welcome to Foote Print Play Scripts,
a series of published plays written by Glyn Idris Jones.Best known for the children’s TV series The Double Decker’s and an early Doctor Who that’s become a classic, Glyn also had a prodigious career in the theatre, as writer, director & actor.
Having written over twenty plays, 13 of which have seen production and at least five musicals with different composers, Glyn has enjoyed success in every aspect of theatre.
Commissioned by Stage Further Productions to create a new musical adaptation of J M Barrie’s classic children’s book Peter Pan, for which Glyn took an unusual angle. It was premiered at Weston-super-Mare and later released for the amateur market where, at one of its productions it brought the house down - literally - set to take place in the Cayman Islands the production had to be cancelled as a hurricane took the roof off the theatre.
Of course not all of Glyn’s works are for children, in fact far from it, crossing the borders of nearly every genre from Grand Guignol to comedies, thrillers, and drama. It is as a dramatist that Glyn has received some of the best acclaim.
