About the playwright

Ted (Edward) is a young writer from Northamptonshire. Frenemies marks his first attempt at playwriting after his teacher encouraged him to give it a shot. He's currently at Ecton Brook Primary School. He really likes English and achieved 'Greater Depth' standard this year. Besides English, Ted has a keen interest in maths and information technology. He's often the go-to person for staff and students alike when it comes to IT problems. Ted is on the autistic spectrum and writing has really helped him to express himself in a more structured way.
