Who is Abi Bown?
I am a freelance writer and designer, originally
from Liverpool, I now reside in sunny East London.
From 1990 I worked as a theatre designer
and illustrator with a particular interest in Theatre for Children
and Young People. I designed regularly for Polka Theatre in London
and for small scale touring companies up north.

Where Can I See Her Work?
Some of my design work can be seen by clicking
the paintbrush link below.
I have illustrated two children's books
- 'Lucy-Anne's Changing Ways' and 'The Good Wolf' by Derek Smith.
In 2000 I was commissioned to design a
clock for the front of the Polka Theatre building to commemorate
the theatre's 21st birthday. It's still there - do take a look
next time you're in Wimbledon.
An early draft of 'Hey There Boy With The
BeBop...' was published in an anthology of plays for Young People
- The Drama Book, published by the English and Media Company.
I may currently have a play in production,
email me to find out.
Anything Else?
I can design and make 'one off' props and
puppets on request.
