Glenn Waldron (born 1 June 1977) is an English playwright and screenwriter. His work has been staged throughout the UK and internationally. [1]
Waldron grew up in Plymouth, the setting for his first play Forever House, and attended the University of Nottingham. [2]
Waldron began his career as a fashion journalist and magazine editor. He was editor of i-D magazine and has written for publications including The New York Times, The Guardian, British Vogue and The Independent. [3]
Waldron's entry into playwriting was a short play directed by Phoebe Waller-Bridge for DryWrite at the Bush Theatre. [2]
His breakthrough play was the critically-lauded Natives, [4] starring Fionn Whitehead and Ella Purnell, [5] staged at Southwark Playhouse following a production at Düsseldorfer Schauspielhaus in 2016. [1] [6] Lynn Gardner writing in The Guardian described it as "unfurling with the tension of a thriller, in 90 minutes that gets right inside the confusions and emotional complexities of the teenage mind". [7]
His play The Here and This and Now transferred to Southwark Playhouse in 2018 following a run at Theatre Royal, Plymouth. [8] According to critic Fergus Morgan, the play "traces the tendrils of our anaesthetized, antibiotic-dependent society towards a stomach-churningly scary future". [9]
In 2021, Waldron wrote the shortform drama series Fracture for Channel 4 and luxury fashion house Balmain, starring Charles Melton, Tommy Dorfmann and Jesse Jo Stark, directed by Bradley and Pablo. [10]
In 2023, he wrote on Netflix series Everything Now, produced by Left Bank Pictures and Sony Pictures Television.[ citation needed]
His plays are published by Nick Hern Books. [1]
