Just Charlie R and D –

In 2018 Peter was nominated for a British Independent Film Award after the release of the film Just Charlie. Peter had been interested in looking at the potential of rendering the film script into something for the stage. With the support of Matthew Warchus and the Old Vic he was able to spend a week playing with ideas and working with choreographer Jonathan Watkins. Although the project was moving forward with The Rep in Birmingham prior to the Covid pandemic once the full force of the pandemic hit, like many other projects at this time, Just Charlie became another victim.
