Samantha Bell

Samantha Bell (b. 1990) is a young, Yorkshire based playwright, poet and novelist.

Her first play, which was co-written with John May, debuted at the Stephen Joseph Theatre, Scarborough on the 21 December 2007. The play was highly commended by Sir Alan Ayckbourn being described as a "gothic", "psychological thriller, "Agatha Christie like in twists" and commented that "the two authors have clearly a good ear for vocal pattern and establishment of a character through speech."

Samantha has had many poems published and has written articles for Wingbeat, a teenagers magazine produced by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds and has written many short and long stories.

Samantha attends a Grammar school in Yorkshire, and is currently doing her A Levels. Aside from drama, her hobbies include music (both listening to and performing) and literature.

Samantha is now said to be back working with John May on their second play, which is scheduled for release and performance later this year. They are also currently working on an adaptation of Sir Alan Ayckbourn's play Absurd Person Singular, after discovering his work thanks to his gratuitous reception of theirs.
