Drama & Non-fiction

  

Snail feeding

Plays:
The Kotuku Bird (full length drama): A brilliant, loveable but infuriating New Zealander ends up in England where he cannot accept that his life is slowly falling apart around him. Only one person cares. Why? Inspired by a true story.

White Mischief (one act): Racist white boy, who secretly desires black girl working in the library, awakens one morning as a black boy …

The Gap (one act): The earth splits in half along the Greenwich meridian, separating Arthur and Cynthy Moscrop from their 16-year old daughter, Miriam. The gap has dramatic and surprising effects on the relationships and emotional ‘gaps’ between the members of the Moscrop family. (Short-listed, The Rowan Tree Theatre Company Drama Competition, 2009)

The Pool (one act): British ex-pats in a Turkish condominium surrounding a pool fail to see eye to eye Flamenco cueva, Sacromonte, Andalucia, Spain on most matters most of the time. Satire on Brits abroad.

The Old Man in the Park (Mini-drama for radio): Two children playing in the park wonder who cares for the old man who always sits alone on the same bench; wonder what he eats ... and who he really is ...        
 

 

Three Women and a Bone: (Short one act drama): Elderly woman with broken hip bone refuses to go into nursing home, to the dismay of her long-suffering daughter. She surprises the daughter by announcing the woman’s twin sister, living in France, and whom they’ve not seen for thirty years, will take care of her. When the sister arrives she brings a bone to pick with her old mother; one that involves unlocking a skeleton from the cupboard of the past.

  

Interview: When Frank Uccisi applies for the job of Slug Control Officer, little does he know what the job really entails...or how much the interviewer knows about his past. A black comedy, relevant to the present day economic climate.
