Kris Haddow

Kris Haddow is a Scottish actor, playwright and author of short stories written in Scots and English. He writes arts commentary and theatre reviews for publication in the UK and online.

Winner of the 2010 ‘see me’ Scotland Creative Writing Award with his short story entry Ronnie’s Story, judged by author Lari Don and awarded by Scots Makar Liz Lochhead, Kris later adapted the piece as a dramatic monologue and has since preformed it at rehearsed readings in Glasgow.

His latest play, 2h9m37s, commissioned for the Scottish Mental Health Arts & Film Festival, is both written and performed by Kris and explores through comic sketches his experiences of insomnia, which he has lived with for 15 years.

Kris recently toured in Girl X with the National Theatre of Scotland and in Scottish Ballet’s Romeo and Juliet, appeared in community opera with Scottish Opera and the Citizens Theatre, sang traditional folk music at the Citizens Theatre to accompany their production Fair Friday, and has been filmed in several BBC Scotland productions as a supporting artist.

Make Your Move, a short play written, directed by and co-starring Kris alongside actor Robert Softley, premiered on 22nd June as part of the National Theatre of Scotland’s Five Minute Theatre event.
