Early lifeHadaway was born on Howdon Road, North Shields on 18 March 1923.[2] After leaving school, he worked on the North Shields Fish Quay where the characters of fellow workers made a strong impression on him.[3] Their characteristics and experiences would later be recalled in his writing. CareerEncouraged by the writer C. P. Taylor, who lived in nearby Newcastle and had heard his natural flair for storytelling on the radio, Hadaway began writing plays based on his experiences and observations of the region.[3] Taylor would become a friend and mentor, advising him to write about the places and characters he knew. Later in his career he worked on television scripts, most notably God Bless Thee Jackie Maddison (1974) as well as episodes of the drama When the Boat Comes In (1976).[1] He worked with Amber Films and was a key writer for Newcastle's Live Theatre Company featuring local actors including Tim Healy and Robson Green.[4] In 2002 he received an Honorary Doctorate of Letters from the University of Sunderland.[5] His Prison Plays were published in 2004, edited by Val McLane.[6] In March 2018, on what would have been his 95th birthday, a blue plaque was unveiled at Hadaway's birthplace by Tim Healy.[2] References1. ^1 {{cite web| title = Tributes paid to popular writer| publisher = BBC | date = 2005-03-03 | url = http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/tyne/4315771.stm | accessdate = 2008-03-02}} {{authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Hadaway, Tom}}{{England-writer-stub}}2. ^1 {{Cite news|url=https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-east-news/tim-healy-unveil-plaque-honour-14411214|title=Tim Healy to unveil plaque in honour of top playwright Tom Hadaway|last=Sharma|first=Sonia|date=2018-03-17|work=nechronicle|access-date=2018-04-04}} 3. ^1 {{Cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/news/2005/mar/11/guardianobituaries.artsobituaries1|title=Obituary: Tom Hadaway|last=Plater|first=Alan|date=2005-03-11|website=the Guardian|language=en|access-date=2018-04-04}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/news/2005/mar/11/guardianobituaries.artsobituaries1 |title=Archived copy |accessdate=2016-12-17 |deadurl=no |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304073932/http://www.theguardian.com/news/2005/mar/11/guardianobituaries.artsobituaries1 |archivedate=4 March 2016 |df=dmy }} 5. ^{{cite web| title = New Intermediate Care Unit opens – named for North Tyneside author Tom Hadaway| publisher = North Tyneside PCT | date = 2006-11-03 | url = http://www.northtynesidepct.nhs.uk/story.asp?p_id=217 | accessdate = 2008-03-02}} {{Dead link|date=October 2010|bot=H3llBot}} 6. ^{{cite web| title = Popular writer's plays published| publisher = BBC | date = 2004-12-02 | url = http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/4061055.stm | accessdate = 2008-03-02}} 7 : 1923 births|2005 deaths|English dramatists and playwrights|People from North Shields|English male dramatists and playwrights|20th-century British dramatists and playwrights|20th-century British male writers |
