Born in London the brothers grew up in Zimbabwe and spent their teenage years touring with their rock band. On returning to England they recorded with various major record labels before joining an international music publisher as contract songwriters. During this period they wrote their first musical, 'Big Sin City', which after a successful national tour of Britain went on to play a season at London's Roundhouse - as did their second musical 'The Comeback', which they also co-produced. They then wrote and produced 'A Slice Of Saturday Night' their award winning 60's pastiche musical. After a sell out season at the Kings Head "Slice" transferred to the Arts Theatre in London's West End. Since breaking all records at the Arts Theatre, 'A Slice Of Saturday Night' completed four national tours of Britain, two European tours and two tours of Japan - returning to the West End for a run at the Strand Theatre. The show has enjoyed well over 300 productions world wide and has been translated into 9 languages - recently the show played a limited season Off-Broadway under the American title, 'Cafe A Go-Go'. When their next musical, 'Lust', opened at he the Theatre Royal Haymarket the brothers had two shows running simultaneously in London's West End. 'Lust' was subsequently translated into Swedish and played a very successful season in Norrkoping, Sweden's national theatre. 'Lust' received its American premiere at the prestigious Walnut Street Theatre, Philadelphia, before transferring to the John Houseman Theatre in New York. Their thriller 'Blood Money' also received its American premiere at The Walnut Street Theatre. Their next musical venture was, 'Sin And Salvation' an edgy black comedy about a Christian TV channel. 'Teen Scream' their latest musical / play, a parody on the teen horror genre, opens at the Theatre Royal Lincoln in May 2006, followed later in the year by'Oz and the Pom' a comedy.

Synopsis: | Good and evil spar to a rock and gospel score. A man, Evelyn, and a woman, Adamun, are devout Christians who dream of establishing a religious television station G.O.D. TV in Britian. Reverend Rupert De La Ray and sidekicks Clarissa and Tony supply the financing with Mafia money. When G.O.D. TV proves to be a disaster; Evelyn and Adamun are persuaded to supplement the gospel shows with raunchy Biblical stories like Sodom and Gomorrah. The Mafia resorts to kidnapping and violence to recoup the money and an avenging minister "eliminates" hundreds of the station's detractors. Adamun ends up in bed with the wrong man. The devil, having decisively gotten the upper hand at a big concert, challenges God to another contest and it all begins again. Present day | |||||

| Based upon Wycherley's The Country Wife, this rollicking Restoration revel throws off the shackles of Puritan austerity in a high-spirited celebration of "the noblest urge bestowed on us". Ribaldry, romance and drama abound in the hilarious tale of Homer, a notorious London libertine. He charms and seduces his way into the hearts and boudoirs of society ladies, while practising elaborate deceptions so as to be trusted by the foolish husbands as a eunuch and chaperon to ladies of quality. Period 1661. | |||||

| It's Saturday night at the provincial "Club A-Go-Go" and the blokes and birds are on the pull. The girls, chalk-faced and pale lipped are desperate to look like Twiggy, Sandy Shaw or Dusty Springfield, the lads, would-be Beatles. However, beneath the girls' skimpy Mary Quant copied dresses beat virginal Barbara Cartland hearts, while inside the lads' hipster trousers lurk the impulses which have driven adolescents to distraction since the dawn of time. Watched over by ageing rocker Eric (Rubber-legs) De Vere, the club's seen-it-all, done-it-all owner, we follow them as they wend their way through teenage sexual mores as rigid and predictable as any New Guinea tribesman's initiation rights. Period 1964. | |||||
