Stuart Draper

Stuart has been an SLT member since 2001. He was a member of the General Council during 2002/2003 and was bar manager then subsequently bar chairman until 2006. Up until recently he was a teacher for the SLT Youth Theatre.

He has also written a number of plays which have been performed by SLT, including Stay With Me which transferred to Greenwich Playhouse and Paper Moons, which ran at the Union Theatre in Southwark, gaining four stars from Time Out which said "Draper neither stands over nor sentimentalises any of his characters, allowing this heartfelt depiction of teenage angst to entertain, but also to touch".

Stuart and Derek Brain moved away from London in 2012.

Stuart wrote and directed 2007's pantomime Aladdin
