Theatre
I've written in just about every genre there is, from radio to computer game design. You'd be amazed at the very different demands of each of these genres - a radio play is far more than a movie without pictures, and a short story is far more than a novel with less words in it. I approach each genre as a challenge - though I must admit, prose is still my first love.
Some of these still receive a production every now and then - please contact me if you are interested.
Stage PlaysA mystery girl arrives in a mystery town to view an impending solar eclipse. When she becomes involved with a waitress with a dark past and a somewhat `firey' disorder, and her son, all three realise the impact of when the past eclipses the present.
Summertime. Two teenagers spot the partner of their dreams - each other. But what do you do? How can you tell if they feel the same way, how will you ever know unless you break the ice - or they break the ice ....? Nobody teaches you the answer to the question everybody asks themselves one time or another - AM I YOUR DREAM? See how far and yet how close we can come to the answer without even realising it.

Moments, experiences, people and feelings pass through our fingers as quickly as fast food. Join two people who, in a random meeting through a mutual friend, realise that the true nature of life is `McHappiness' - one moment of mass-produced, clingwrapped delight that is gone in a second, but which we spend our whole lives hoping for.
They Sold Their Souls to Santa (1995)
Christmas is hardly a time of joy for Lydia. She has to cope with the Cousin from Hell, a family that doesn't understand, and a season that seems to mean less about the birth of some guy who eventually got nailed to a tree and more about beer, brandy butter, and `A Very Brady Christmas'. However, the arrival of the attractive Ray means maybe Christmas won't be a washout this year after all.
Don't Call Me Sonny Boy (1996)
Hugh `Violet' Douglas is a seventeen year old boy under the torture of his stepfather Ron. This is, until he meets Amber. When things at home take a turn for the worse, it is Amber's courage that helps Violet discover his identity and realises he has to prove to himself and his family that nobody is going to call him sonny boy any more. A study of the psyche of one of the most marginalized groups of the 1990's - the teenage male.
She Called Me Honey Bunny (1997)
One apartment. Two inner city jerks with nothing to do. Three insane next door neighbours. Add : One attractive, persuasive, sexy - and absent - flatmate. One connection with the outside world. And ... NO cigarettes, NO beer, NO food, NO electricity, and maybe NO HOPE OF ESCAPE ! An urban comic psychodrama.
