Also author of short stage plays. WORK IN PROGRESS: Writing for television; research on death row in the United States. SIDELIGHTS: Glenn Chandler told CA: "My primary motivation for writing is that I was hopeless at everything else at school except English! I made my first break in the theater circuit (London fringe) with a number of short plays. Harold Pinter was a great influence on me. Good, well- researched 'true crime' is also a great influence, for much of my fictional plotting sparks off from real-life events.; "I start writing at 6:00 a.m. and finish at 2:00 in the afternoon-I have a life! Also, I feel fresher in the morning, and anything written by midnight oil will probably be in the wastepaper basket by morning. "My inspiration for writing about crime came from an invitation by Granada Television to write for Crown Court in the seventies. I attended numerous famous murder trials and became hooked." Glenn Chandler. Following a brilliant career in television (including creating the legendary TAGGART), Glenn turned his expert hand to writing and directing for theatre, forming the company Boys of the Empire. He has had several award-winning shows, the most recent being THE GOOD SCOUT. This five star hit show transferred from a sell out at Edinburgh to Above the Stag in London.
