Next week actors will be hitting the studio to record my ninth play for BBC Radio 4. Called 'All Mouth & Trousers', it's a comedy based on the true story of Britain's (and possibly the world's) first female sitcom writer. Any guesses?
'Somewhere In England' (The Bedford Play) is now in pre-production for September performances at The Quarry Theatre, St Luke's, Bedford.

Things are busy right now. I've just been given my 11th commission by BBC Radio 4. It's for a play that will require research on the Aldwych Farces, 1960s BBC TV sitcoms and that formidable crusader of morals, Mary Whitehouse. Should be fun!
In early November my play about Ian Fleming is being performed in Brighton. So why not go and see SPECTRE and then discover how Bond was created in 'The Man with the Golden Pen'?
Finally, work continues on 'Somewhere in England' (The Bedford Play). I've completed a 2nd draft and also helped film some spectacular drone footage of the town.
Thanks for reading and I'll update you next month!

Welcome to my new website. Hope you like it.
I have just completed the first draft of a commissioned play dramatising the history of Bedford, dating back 850 years to the granting of the Royal Charter. It's due to be performed in September 2016 at The Quarry Theatre at St. Luke's. You'd be surprised at the tales this town can tell...
Over the next few months I will be adding news of further projects. In the meantime, have a good summer.
