Ben has worked in the theatre as a writer and director for over thirty years and was Artistic Director of the Northcott Theatre Exeter for ten of them. About fifteen years ago, he started to make a particular speciality of writing pantomimes – and now his pantomimes are performed in hundreds of theatres all over the world. For the last two Chistmas’s he has been delighted for his scripts to be used as the basis for both of the star studded pantomimes produced by Comic Relief.
