Welcome to Christopher Swann's website

I'm a writer a playwright and stage director.

I have written and directed a sequence of plays called "THE FORGOTTEN TRILOGY".

   "ONE NIGHT" set on the night of the choosing of the Unknown Warrior,  had several public readings before 

being performed in a full production in St Pauls's JQ Art Centre in Birmingham in October 2023

"Up In the Blue" set in the world of the women of the Air Transport Auxiliary during the Second World War was performed in a public reading in London and enhanced rehearsed reading in Benson Parish Hall to a sell out audience of 200 in April 2024.
It is planned in 2025 to stage the play to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the founding of the British Women's Pilots Association.

"Swing! Swing! Admiral Byng!" set on the last day of Byng's life in March 1757 before he is shot for 'not doing his utmost'. The world premiere of the play is planned for May 7th at the Playground Theatre in Latimer Road London with Peter Tate starring as Jack Byng.

I staged and directed "Norma Jean The Musical" by P.T.Rose at the Rose and Crown Theatre in Walthamstow and the "Lost" Theatre in Stockwell. Both productions had three week runs.
