Hugh’s creative CV includes ★★★★★ dark comedy podcast ‘The Future History of the British Isles’, and plays at theatres across the UK, including Nottingham Playhouse, Theatre503, Old Red Lion, the Pleasance and The Vaults.

"An intriguing world of revelations and horrors, paired with moments of hilarity... it leaves you breathless" (Everything Theatre for ‘Who You Are and What You Do’)

"Exposing the cracks of our current political and ideological crisis" (iTunes listener review for ‘The Future History of the British Isles’)

"Top Ten Plays Not to Miss" (FringeReview for ‘The War On Terry’)

With an astute eye for dialogue and structure, Hugh brings over a decade of experience in writing across forms and genres, working solo and in writing teams, finding personal angles to big stories and drama in the everyday.
