There are no upcoming events.
Excited to share something very special – while I love writing plays and the community of theatre folk I get to exist amongst, forever and always my great artistic love has been books. They are a quiet pleasure, they inspire wonder time and time again, they’ve filled every corner of every home, they are created […]
Like everyone in the arts, 2020 has seen many plans fall by the wayside, with lots of shows sadly cancelled but also lots of room provided for the writing of new ones.
