John was part of Associated London Scripts, set up by Spike Milligan and Eric Sykes,

, among many other projects.
 
John is still a prolific playwright.
 
He has written with Ray Galton and we are pleased to be representing not only
'Murder At Oil Drum Lane' which he co-wrote with Ray, but also 'An Arm And A Leg' which
they wrote together. Please see the 'Murder At Oil Drum Lane' page for the

We will also be presenting some of John's short plays and they will shortly be added 
to this page with the rights information.

The most popular Galton and Simpson scripts have been specifically adapted for the stage by
Ray Galton, Alan Simpson, and David Pibworth.

The episodes range between just the two main actors in Steptoe and Son and the one main character in Hancock, up to fairly large casts.
Some of the two-hander and one-hander episodes could be performed in small venues.

We are here to help you, and if you have any questions then please don't hesitate to contact David Pibworth in the first instance on 01234 241357
