Edward Preece

Edwin Preece started writing five years ago, under the direction of Joyce Branagh, at the Palace Theatre Watford's Playwriting group. His first play 'The Cell' was short listed for the Verity Bathgate Award and that was followed by 'Da', one of only four plays to be showcased at the International Playwriting Festival run by the Warehouse Theatre in Croydon in March 2010.

His one act play 'Cleaning Agents' has had a successful run at the Lion and the Unicorn Theatre in Kentish Town. Another 'Suffer The Little Children' was recently performed at The Space in East London.

In April 2013 his play 'To The End Of Love' had a sell out run at the Tristan Bates Theatre in London and later this year another full length play '6 by 9' will be staged at venues along the south coast.
