David Calcutt
“The Goat Skin Drum”, the follow up to “Crowboy”, will be published by Oxford University Press next year.

David Calcutt was born in Wednesbury in the West Midlands, UK. He has worked as a playwright, director and storyteller, has written and directed several large-scale community plays. He has also written many plays and adaptations for BBC Radio. His first plays were written for youth theatres, and several of his plays for young people are published for use in schools and colleges.

Most of his more recent plays have been written with and for the Midland Actors Theatre, with whom he maintains a close working relationship
 
He is also a poet and novelist. His first novel, “Crowboy”, was published recently by Oxford University Press, and a second is due next year. He is currently working on a book of stories about Robin Hood. David has written and made up stories for as long as he can remember. As a boy, he liked reading comics and watching cowboy films. The two books that really fired imagination were “Treasure Island” and “Moby Dick”. Along with “Don Quixote”, they remain favourites. Mythology and folk lore are another source of inspiration.

And one very important thing: When you’re done here, please follow this link to the MySpace web page belonging to David's son, Jonathon. Please listen to his songs and watch his music video. I like them a lot, I'm sure you will too.
