Euan Rose is an internationally renowned writer. His stage works have been performed at many leading theatres in the Western world and he is also in demand to write biographies for private clients. Euan is available to commission for writing new stage and screen works, adaptations and personal biographies. His existing stage musicals and plays are available for performance under license. Euan Rose was born in West Heath, Birmingham. His passion for writing began at school where he used to regale the 'cold dinner table' each day with an episode of a rather risque soap serial based on the pupils and staff. This very nearly led to his expulsion! A child of the sixties, he played drums in various rock bands before embarking on a career in publishing. After learning his trade with the Daily Mirror Group he branched out on his own. Along with a like-minded partner he grew a very successful business-to-business media communications company, 'Angel Business Communications'. This incorporated a technical publishing house 'Angel Publishing', an exhibition company Angel Exhibitions and a film company 'Cherrystone studios'. During the eighties and nineties he also wrote and directed over 250 corporate and training films. He returned to screenplay with a script for a well received short film 'The Pact'. He now lives in Bromsgrove where he works as a full time writer and director. His stage musical writing credits include the highly acclaimed 'Wallop Mrs. Cox', 'Ridin' the Number Eight', 'Charlotte Badger' and his new 60's musical '3 Summers'.. His stage plays include 3.1.6., Sex Lies and Retribution and an adaptation of Charles Kingsley's 'The Water Babies'. Euan also ghost writes biographies. On stage he has directed most things from Shakespeare to Sondheim over a long love affair with live theatre. When developing a new stage play or musical he always forms a small company for an initial workshop production before it moves onto professional release.

Synopsis: | 3 Summers' is a musical about the flower power years. The three summers in question are, 'The Summer of Dreams, 'The Summer of Love' and 'The Summer of Reflection' when the survivors look back on a decade that changed the world. . .The action takes place mainly in the house of a reclusive faded singer, Freddie Savage, an original 50's crooner who was a heart throb and then disappeared to obscurity overnight after 'that incident'. His house is a bedsit haven for ambitious young girls of the 60's who want to be part of the revolution. They are all wannabe's - pop singer, dancer, chef, model, actress and one who just wants to manage a famous person and doesn't really care if that is an artist with brush and easel or one with a twelve string guitar. They are all dreamers and schemers. Their stories are interwoven, some make it, some don't - they just share the journey! | |||||
