RESUME
QUOTES
I
have seen, in my twenty years as a teacher of theatre, few other
young writers of his quality, perhaps none.
Keith Sturgess (Head of Performance, Lancaster
University 1988-92)
Peter
Devonald has been working for Robber Baron Productions for over
a year as Script Editor and, alongside the development of a
series of in-house projects as a writer. His insights on the
science of writing have led to the discovery of a few young
talents that without his help would have not found their voice.
His work and commitment are invaluable.
Joseph Alberti (co-director of Robber
Baron)
This
is really accomplished. Good screenwriting, well paced, and
feels very emotionally true.... I think there is talent to consider
here.
The Script Factory
THEATRE
QUOTES
The
scenes set in 1612 are powerful and convincing. The stripped
down, poetic dialogue creates characters that are reduced to
the essentials of experience and emotion
The play allows
the audience see the writer's ghosts... A very talented writer.
This play is emotionally committed and contains fine heightened
dialogue.
Paines Plough writing about Masks And
Angels (theatre)
An
incredibly powerful drama (which) conveys the innermost soul
of this woman.
Woolwich Award (Shortlist)
I
found the play extremely powerful and moving and could see that
it would have a profound effect on any audience if it were staged.
Alan Avery, Artistic Director, City of
York Theatre
A
well informed political piece... It is a creditable and intelligent
piece.
Stephen Jeffreys (Literary Associate,
Royal Court)

FILM
QUOTES
I
enjoyed reading your script and thought that you succeeded in
creating an intriguing and dramatic scenario. I found it a complex,
intellectually ambitious piece. I was particularly impressed by
the way in which you challenge our conceptions of the truth. I
thought that your use of the media, deconstructing and reconstructing
the evidence, raised lots of fascinating issues.
BBC Development writing about 'The Guilty
Few'
This
was instantly accessible and interesting to read, with action,
intrigue, locations and interesting characters... I loved the
whole set up, the atmosphere, the Hotel...
Sue Everett (Script Editor and writer) writing
about The Primrose Path
From
the first few pages, I could not stop. You are this century's
William Goldman. This certainly is a stunning piece of intellectual
farce on marketing, brutality and gore. Never has death been funnier.
Elton Sebastian (Director of award winning
'Nerd Wars')
A
resonant cross between Brief Encounter and Pinter at his most
enigmatic.
Baz Kershaw, Head of Theatre, Lancaster
University.
I
enjoyed reading your work very much and thought you had created
a pacey and vibrant drama from an imaginative and dramatic idea.
Your dialogue has a great dynamic and the violence both implicit
and explicit gives the script a very good energy.
Drama Serials, BBC.
This
insightful, largely fact based fictional short film follows the
brief, but very grim journey of a deactivated gun, from its
legal beginnings bought on the internet by a collector
to its eventual home, activated on the streets, with
fatal repercussions.
Evening Standard PICK OF THE NIGHT: 13th
September 2005
You
have a very clear and sharp writing style. Character and dialogue
all strong. It grips and pays off well. There is a very creepy
atmosphere built up and some genuinely scary, tense sequences.
You're
a good writer and this script shows off your writing skills and
command of the screenwriting craft.

Green (director of The Bunker) writing about The Cherub House
