welcome to
james stedman
plays

I am a Leith-based theatre maker, storyteller, and poet.

I have written and performed for as long as I can remember,

right from sitting at my nan's coffee table

pretending coke cans were lasers.

I have an MSc in Playwriting from the University of Edinburgh

and over a decade's experience writing, producing and performing

heartfelt work with a gently comic, queer edge.

I enjoy juggling the rhythm and fairytale of the everyday

and refracting wider social issues through that prism.

I am currently working on new scripted and devised projects

with particular focus on class, mental health and queerness.
