Who we are
What makes us a good team?
In 1990 Matt Whitby and Claire Whyte met at art college in Burton upon- Trent. After thirty years of friendship, our love of writing and comedy became the writing collaboration: Whitby and Whyte.
During the first lock-down of 2020 we formally began writing together and started crafting our first screenplay: ‘Living with Abaddon’. The screenplay has been well-received in the industry, giving us a determination to hone our voice.
Alongside this we are developing scripts for radio another comedy-drama series titled ‘Charitable Causes’ and we have ideas for a horror-short and other projects. We are dedicated to writing imaginative and diverse scripts that entertain.
