Julie Mayhew
Playwright
Julie Mayhew is a journalist turned actress turned writer, whose work centres on social mobility, closed communities and ‘difficult’ women’ ( making it funny wherever possible).
Her short plays have been staged at Theatre 503, Riverside Studios and the Old Red Lion, and she wrote THE FLETTON RAILWAY CHILDREN for Eastern Angles, which opened The Undercroft performance space in her hometown Peterborough.
Beyond theatre, Julie’s Radio 4 plays have been twice nominated at the BBC Audio Drama Awards, and as a novelist, she’s written four Carnegie-nominated books for young adults and two literary thrillers published internationally by Bloomsbury.
In film, she’s developing BFI Network-backed biopic SKATING FOR LADIES, and is set to direct her Anglo/German romcom, DON’T MENTION THE WAR, which was selected for the Mubi-backed Wscripted Cannes List. In the US, in TV, she is creator/showrunner of original TV thriller OFF GRID (Studio21/Keshet).
