Michael Billington wrote in The Guardian of The Tin Horizon, "a play that proves Wells has a gift for gothic futurism.. a name to watch.. shows a wild imagination at work and displays unmistakable signs of talent." Wells adapted Patrick Hamilton’s Duke in Darkness for the Tabard, Chiswick, last year and co-wrote the libretto for the experimental opera, Triptych, currently showing at the Print Rooms and Wilton’s Music Hall. He was a series-writer for the animated children programs Xolight and Noksu.
He has written the full-length feature Bait the Hook, and a short film, Shrike, longlisted for Channel 4’s Coming Up.
