The Aliens Are Coming!

Two officials conduct an unusual interview with an alien in my brand new 15 minute play for schools & youth theatres THE WOW FACTOR. It's intended to be part of a collection of seven plays by seven different writers called ALIENS. I'm not sure when ALIENS is being published but The WOW Factor is available as from today as an individual play from Lazy Bee Scripts!

The Wow Factor can be read on-line at http://www.lazybeescripts.co.uk/Scrip...

Three Nil Down at Half Time

Congratulations to the Watlington Young Players for winning "Best Youth Production" at the 2013 Hunstanton Drama Festival with their performance of my one act play THREE NIL DOWN AT HALF TIME. Three Nil Down is published by Lazy Bee Scripts and tells the story of a girls' football (soccer) team who are on a long losing streak - until a half time bet leads to a change of manager (coach). Three Nil Down has been translated into French and American English! The play can be read on-line at http://www.lazybeescripts.co.uk/Scrip...

My World War 1 Play

I'm getting excited! I've completed 52 pages (of an intended 75 pages) of the first draft of my first ever full length play. The play has a World War 1/suffragette theme and I'm hoping it will be performed in 2014 to link in with the centenary of World War 1. A couple of theatres are interested. My play hasn't got a title yet - hopefully the Goodreads community will be able to help me select one a bit later on...
