Peter Mortimer - poet, playwright, journalist, publisher - has lived in the North East for thirty years, and many of his books and plays have been published and performed here. He is used to writing about difficult places: against Foreign Office advice he wandered round Yemen; he set up a children's theatre group in a Palestinian refugee camp in Lebanon and, over one summer, walked the length of Britain with one dog and no money, dependent on the kindness of strangers to provide accommodation and food. His books include: The Last of the Hunters: Life with the Fishermen in North Shields; I Married the Angel of the North (poetry); Off the Wall: the Journey of a Play; and Cool for Qat, which grew out of his commission to write a play about the 1930 Yemeni seamen's riot in South Shields; and Camp Shatila - a Writer's Chronicle, which grew from the two months towards the end of 2008, when he lived in Shatila Refugee Camp, Beirut. In November 2013, Peter Mortimer visited Lebanon again, and on his return wrote about his visit for Newcastle's Journal. "I grew excited on this visit," he says, "by an idea slowly forming of inviting members of the Tyneside Jewish community to some future performance here by the Palestinians."

Death at Dawn

Synopsis:
Death at Dawn is based on a real case, that of the young North Shields soldier William Hunter who was court-martialled and executed in France in 1916 for desertion. More than 300 soldiers were shot at dawn by the British Army in the Great War but Hunter's case is unusual because sentence was carried out even though the authorities believed at the time that he had signed on under-age. In almost every other similar case, the death sentence was reprieved. For reasons unknown, the sentence on Hunter was carried out. The play examines possible reasons and also explores the realities behind a policy that saw the army shoot its own men.

Parcel for Mr Smith, A

Synopsis:
When our character Smith hears the shout through his front door A parcel for Mr. Smith! it begins a bizarre often ludicrous sequence of events whose final outcome can not be predicted.Is this a play about Post office inadequacies, the fear of opening parcels, or one man's obsession with Royal Mail minutiae? Judge for yourself as actor Dylan Mortimer leads us through an obsessive, surreal and highly comic piece which might possibly mean the end of the world. Or at least the decline in the use of string on post office parcels.

Synopsis:
As the play opens, the government is announcing its new Big Idea to get people more involved in their own community's culture. But when five randomly chosen individuals are picked to select a new play for local production, matters take an unexpected turn. It is obvious that the five share some dark secret from years ago. But what is that secret? And what is its relationship to the mysterious play that arrives out of the blue? And why do all five, with no previous acting experience, feel compelled to audition? Slowly, the past reveals its painful secrets, as fate moves the five towards some long-avoided resolution.

Riot - South Shields 1930

Synopsis:
Riot revolves around the Yemeni seamen's riots in South Shields in 1930. A mix of the serious and the comic in semi-naturalistic style with the narrative operating as a love story against the back drop of major social and political upheaval. Although set in 1930, Riot is highly relevant to the UK today and tackles head on the sensitive matter of Muslim/West relations. the controversial piece received great praise from the critics and in 2006 Peter Mortimer was given a special award by Yemeni Voice magazine.

She's on Toast

Synopsis:
This bizarre new play by Peter Mortimer opens with the longest and most colourful exchange of insults ever heard on a theatre stage. Before long, one character is forced to recite a speech in Latin, while another finds the plot cannot advance further until he can answer the question, "what is the opposite of string?" He manages to answer it.

Stolen Rubber Band, The

Synopsis:
In Peter Mortimer's latest piece of theatrical absurdity we find the character Terse driven to desperation by economic austerity. The solution is to embark on an unpredictable odyssey in an attempt to steal a rubber band - the answer to every problem. En route Terse must face and overcome such problems as the Wobbly Man With Dog, the Bald Balladeer, and the awesome Gate of Gump, through which no-one has ever passed. Terse must also learn to converse in the language of Gargle. Meantime back home, Terse's faithful companion Foam confronts another formidable challenge - to count aloud from 1 to 10,000. Cloud Nine's latest indefinable piece is full of trickery, practical jokes, sleights of hand, physical theatre, dazzling language and a watering can. There is also an obsession with eating. The first half of each evening's performance brings a live set from one of North Tyneside's many talented singer/songwriters.

Uninvited

Synopsis:
A stranger is sitting in your house, whistling. He's drinking the tea, he's doing the washing up and he's got his eyes on the egg whisk. Outside? A cul-de-sac full of gym-attending, pub-drinking, socially-able show offs. Inside? Wallpaper that won't stop talking, and him. . . And then of course there's her, and salvation in the smell of her Madeira cake.
