In 1976 he joined the Lindsay Kemp Theatre Company and wrote music for the acclaimed production of Wilde's Salome at the Roundhouse.
Craig won the Guardian/ICA Songwriter of the Year award in 1989 with The Fisherman (which features in his current show).
He co-edited two novels by Sarah Kavanagh and with the author adapted one of them for the screen (Wired to the Moon).
After teaching acting, directing and playwriting at Morley College for 14 years and producing many plays there, he moved to Somerset and joined the Drama Department at UWE.
