Tim Barcode

Tim Barcode is a Timelord so has no meaningful age. He lives in Christchurch and is a writer who does other things to support his habit.

 

He has written 17 plays, three novels (one of them good!) and a range of short stories.

 

Tim is a reluctant post modernist, who still believes in things. 

 

His playwriting influences are:

 

·       Dario Fo

·       Tom Stoppard

·       Government forms and applications

·       Robert Lord

·       The Mighty Boosh

·       Douglas Adams

·       Whatever he last saw.

 

Tim believes theatre must appeal to communicate.  It might be fun (or perverse) to write material which is inaccessible, but audiences will learn more from a good tale.

 

Tim is currently writing three plays

 

He once put together ‘BOB’, a total conceptual art exhibition in Lichfield Street, with poems and other written explorations, with Lucinda and George.  Except they called it RED, and George has gone on to be a famous novelist under her real name.

 

Oily Rag Theatre has produced:

 

Shirley Valentine by Willy Russell (Chch), and Gaffe (Circa Wellington and Chch), Café Dement (wgtn and Chch), Potted, The News @ No 6 (Chch), Interviews and Other and Lies (Wgtn) by Tim Barcode.
