Mark Wheeller began writing whilst a student at Marlwood
Comprehensive School, Bristol.
After teaching drama for thirty-six years he retired in July 2015
to concentrate on writing and delivering Drama/Theatre workshops to
students and teachers across the world.
Mark is one of the most-performed playwrights in Britain. Too Much
Punch For Judy has been performed over 6,000 times and Chicken
nearly 6,000. Missing Dan Nolan and Hard to Swallow are both set
texts for the GSCE Drama 9-1 exams. His work has been a staple part
of the Drama curriculum both in the UK and abroad for the past
three decades.
Professional productions of Hard to Swallow, I Love You Mum, I
Promise I Won’t Die and Chicken regularly tour schools and many of
Mark’s works are available on DVD, with digital formats forthcoming
in late 2020.
His study guides include Drama Schemes, The Story Behind Too Much
Punch For Judy, Drama Club & Hard to Swallow – Easy to Digest.
He has three children and lives just outside the New Forest, with
his wife Rachael, and Labrador, Dusty.
"The audience I sat in was patently out for some whooping Friday night fun watching their mates on stage. At the end there was a horrid silence." Nick Baker, Times Educational Supplement
