Patrick Skipworth
Reviewer (UK)
My interests in theatre are wide and varied, although I have perhaps the most experience with Classical tragedians and comedians having spent a good deal of my time at school and as an undergrad studying them. Beckett is another favourite for his bleak humour and linguistic mischief. Currently I live in London, work on writing projects and other odds and ends and have been published as a co-author on a children’s history book.
