David Spain

Writer

United Kingdom

I am an experienced writer of screenplays, interactive fiction, and prose. Following the completion of my Creative Writing Ph.D. at Northumbria University, and the release of "Paranormal Preparatory School", a game which was released by Choice of Games in August 2022, I am seeking creative writing roles for a range of media and genre.

I have worked on a number of projects, including narrative design and screenplay projects, and have received extremely positive feedback from every client. My independent and collaborative work has gone on to perform successfully in both national and internation festivals and contests, and several of my screenplays are currently being filmed for a 2024 release.

A Murder at Thornton Manor (script)

The play portrays a murder investigation following a wealthy's widow's death, during which the Detective in charge of the investigation is shot by an unknown assailant. The gun used onstage, however, is real and the Detective's actor is killed. From there, the play continues, with the increasingly desperate cast attempting to keep the performance on the rails.
