'The First 10 Plays'
“The rare skill and emotional devotion of the author shone through … so true to life, so understanding, so pertinent, so apt for humanity, so unfailingly and originally humorous, because we are all in there somewhere.” Brian Seymour (Actor, Director, Speaker, Lecturer, Adjudicator: August 2020.
A collection of my plays is now available to purchase. In this 334 page volume is an eclectic mix of comedy, drama, monologues, one act pieces, all of which provide something for most theatre companies; many of them have very little staging requirements. The plays are as published, in full not abridged, so you are able to make a genuine assessment concerning if they are right for you. The four main two-act works are available via my publisher (Stagescripts Ltd) for licensing. Any queries about performing the other works should be directed to me via this website.
It is available to buy now on Amazon by searching for 'The First Ten Plays' or simply clicking on the Amazon logo below.
Some of the pieces also include within the introduction to them, audience feedback and reviews to give you a feel for what the public really thought of them - it was all good, honest!
The price is £14.99 for ten plays. You can pay between £8-£10 for one script at the moment online so I think that is pretty good value for money. And the reason is that this isn't about making money. It's about getting the work out there and getting you thinking about choosing repertoire which is new and not just the same cycle of the same plays. Trust me. New Works = New Audiences.
If you're looking at my stuff, then take time time to look at other writers too. And if you need an introduction to new writers or new repertoire from a range of creatives, just get in touch.
