This may help to explain his ability to set the scene quickly and concisely, deliver the lines and then drop the curtain neatly in place ready to lift it again for the next scene. Doug Wiggins was born in the north of England, in a region known as The Wirral, a peninsular bounded on one side by the River Dee and on the other by the River Mersey. As a boy he hated sport and locked himself up with the world of books, becoming an avid reader and reading classics by the age of eight. He migrated to South Australia with his family after starting High school in England but was put back into primary school after arrival in Australia. This reversal was a traumatic event in his life, further complicated by a move to New South Wales after only three months and another change of schools found him in the final term of first year High school. He thrived on drama and joined the local theatre group. After a brief stint as a schoolboy radio announcer on regional radio he moved to Sydney and by the age of fifteen had started a long career as an actor. He started writing seriously in his fifties and moved to Melbourne and later to Adelaide where his first novel, ‘Branscombe’, was born. He divides his time between Adelaide, Venice and London.ver menos
