Janet Smith
Janet Smith lives in a small market town in the UK, where not a lot happens, and geese terrorizing pedestrians make local headlines. Despite this uninspiring lack of material, she still manages to turn out a fair amount of murder mysteries, plays for kids, sketches, comedies, short plays, one act, monologues and drama. To get away from the geese, she treads the boards with her local amdram group. Many of her scripts are road tested here, and she has directed many. Janet’s plays have been performed in all kinds of venues, from windy, muddy tents at festivals, to churches, to village halls, to schools, to libraries – oh and theatres! They are written to be staged as simply and inexpensively as possible, and some are also adapted for podcast and radio. She has had work broadcast on BBC radio 4, and local radio stations.
