Creator of Dramatic Works

Many of my scripts are available for production; click on "Play Scripts" button to the left to read extracts, read reviews etc.

My strengths lie in comedy, site-specific and promenade theatre, audio work, directing Shakespeare, and in creating unique theatrical experiences.

No one else in the world is called Simon Corble, (afaik and spelled this way) so, if you have found me after some kind of search, you have found the right man.

My History in Brief

Played Hamlet aged 16 at Lymm Grammar School, Cheshire and never looked back.

Trained as an actor at Manchester Poly. (now MMU) but started to create my own work even then.

Founded Midsommer Actors' Co. in 1990 specifically to create promenade theatre in the most atmospheric natural locations; but with the emphasis on the actor's performance. Won awards and a massive following in the North of England.

In addition, writing and directing for, amongst others, the likes of The Library Theatre Co. Harrogate Theatre, The London Bubble, Lancaster Duke's Playhouse, North Country Theatre.

2001: Took two years out to work on the extraordinary Greek Island of Ikaria as a guide and manager for a small tour company.

Started Found Theatre, with first production in 2005.  Powerful stories, simple means.

Concentrating principally on writing at present, with some directing and performance work.  (Main photo above is myself as Montague Furzan teller of GHOST STORIES.)

Other passions: walking; natural history; wine and food; Greek language ancient and modern (& wine and food); music of many kinds; poetry....wild swimming.
