Peter Kelly is a writer and script developer with a distinctive talent for weaving humour into emotionally rich narratives. His work bridges theatre, film, and audio drama, specialising in stories that tackle complex social themes with authenticity and heart.

​

Peter’s credits include Gray Area, a dark comedy exploring social taboos, and Something’s Not Working, a workplace comedy that won Best Film at the Last Frame Festival.

Across these projects and more, Peter has honed a unique ability to blend humour with serious subject matter in ways that feel natural, character-driven, and deeply human.
