Peter Wells

Although mainly known for his fiction, Peter Wells has explored his interest in gay and historical themes, in a number of expressive drama and documentary films since the 1980s; among them Georgina Beyer documentary Georgie Girl, and lavish melodrama Desperate Remedies (co-directed with Stewart Main).

Though he is a committed and publicly gay writer, his range of subject, setting and style is greater than any such definition can suggest.
