Notes: from Charles Dickens
Synopsis: This play opened successfully at the Edinburgh Fringe and deals with some of the most memorable scenes of childhood from Dickens' novels. Episodes from Great Expectations, Bleak House, David Copperfield and Nicholas Nickleby are dramatised for a cast of seven. Dickens himself guides us through these senes and plays the central child in each. Thus he is Pip, Jo the crossing-sweeper, David Copperfield, Smike and others. He also links the stories to events in his own childhood.

Synopsis: A play with character opportunities for a large group of children. Some children are putting on a play but can't decide whether it should be about football, space, or adventure, so they agree to include elements of each. They attempt to present Indian Smith and the Temple of Doom, or The Return of the Tedi. Toy cars and a model of Wembley Stadium are brought into play in a struggle between good and evil.

Synopsis: This is the first part of a comic trilogy about a drama group's production of Hamlet. (The others are Distracted Globe and Easy Stages). In this play, self-regarding actor Eric is to play the ghost of Hamlet's father. His girlfriend (Liz) insists that he wears her father's old boots to play the role. The director has trouble keeping the peace. The question then is - did a real ghost walk during the performance of the play?

Synopsis: Life-changing meetings can happen in the oddest of places: in this case, the vestry of a C of E church is the scene. Uptight, down-trodden Rachel, the vicar's wife, chats to recently-widowed Mr Purvis there and is rather cornered into offering him the post of the church's Health and Safety Officer. The consequences are unexpected: Purvis is keen but, frankly, causes more problems than he solves, the vicar being the prime victim of his misguided attempts to make things safer, and Rachel, though exasperated and embarrassed by Purvis, grows in self-confidence as their friendship deepens. Funny, touching and wry, this play for two actors is an example of comedy writing at its very best.
