Michael Elm

Michael’s musical theatre situation can be blamed on his dad’s affliction, Gilbert&Sullivan-itis. This rare condition is hereditary and Michael was diagnosed at a young age but it is unfortunately untreatable. It is thought that writing is a useful form of therapy for this ailment so he has chosen Edinburgh as a base for its clean air, excellent weather and yearly August-long culture binge. Michael does not limit his writing to the theatre though with sports, Children’s books and his nine-hundred mile walk with a Japanese Buddhist monk all falling foul of his pen (or more commonly his mobile phone’s keypad, he’s cutting edge like that!).
