ED WAUGH and TREVOR WOOD

“Forget feel-good theatre, with Ed Waugh and Trevor Wood you’re guaranteed a feel-amazing theatrical experience” The Crack

North East- based writers Ed Waugh and Trevor Wood have written eight successful plays, including the phenomenal Dirty Dusting – a tale of three elderly cleaning ladies who set up a telephone sex line – which has played to full houses across the UK, Ireland and Australia, and Waiting For Gateaux which sold out ten weeks before its opening night in the North East, completed a successful tour of New Zealand in 2007, toured the UK in 2008 and is completing a second UK tour in 2010. Their radio play Son of Samurai featured at the Latitude Festival in 2008 and their quirky dark comedy The Revengers which began life at the Customs House in South Shields also had a short UK tour in June 2009.

Their most controversial play Maggie’s End, which began life at Durham’s Gala Theatre in 2008, had a two-week run at London’s Shaw Theatre in 2009 to help commemorate the 25^th anniversary of the Miner’s Strike.

Their latest play, Alf Ramsey Knew My Grandfather, which related the true story of the West Auckland Football Team which won the first World Cup, premiered at the Gala Theatre in 2009 and transferred to Newcastle’s Theatre Royal in 2010 with great success.

Their earlier plays Good To Firm and Raising The Stakes returned to the Customs House in 2010 as part of the theatre’s 15^th anniversary celebrations and were  followed by a new play, Photo Finish, the third of the trilogy.

The prolific pair also have two films in development and are currently working on a sitcom.
