Peter Webster

Peter has been an active member of Faringdon Dramatic Society since 1988, acting, directing, set building, front of house – He’s done it all as part of a brilliant team of like minded people, and it’s given him a great deal of enjoyment. He first started writing pantomimes in order to provide the Society with scripts which would work well in the rather primitive locations they originally had available to them. He really got the bug and over time he has now written eleven pantomimes, ten of which have been premiered locally; much to his delight three of these productions have come first in the annual Oxfordshire Drama Network Pantomime Competition. Latterly he’s branched out into one act plays, a challenge of a different order! He plans to carry on writing, as there is nothing so satisfying as seeing ones work performed in front of a live (and hopefully appreciative) audience.
