Lewis Carroll's fantastical story collides with Radio 4 in Stephen Wyatt's dramatisation. Alice crashes through the mirror onto a giant game of chess and an adventure begins.
This magical world is set out like a giant c...
The talk Rob Orledge and I gave at Gresham College earlier this year on our reconstruction of Debussy's Devil in the Belfry - with extended musical extracts from the world premiere - is now available via You Tube
The first chance I've had to sit down and listen to Bonnie Langford's reading of Paradise Towers in full. I'd sampled it before so I knew she'd done a good job. But this time I was really struck by the sharpness and wit of her characterisations and her expert pacing of the narrative. And, to be ho...
Have been in rehearsals with Krazy Kat Theatre this week working on the script for BABA YAGA THE BONY LEGGED, THE WITCH. The show is well up to KK's usual high standards and the puppetry is magic. Opens the Mill Studio, Yvonne Theatre, Guildford on Saturday 17th. See Krazy Kat website for further...
This is something I've written for the book about Radio Drama Claire Grove and I are working on - which is a note to myself as well as to other readers of the book.
Just spent three very productive days in the studio recording THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS with my producer, Tracey Neale. A very talented cast plus a succession of "guest" Radio 4 voices.
LOOKING GLASS broadcasts on Radio 4 on 22nd December at 2.30 pm.
Queen's Theatre Hornchurch archive for Pick Yourself Up - reviews, photos, cast - now available again.
Copies of the script and further information about Pick Yourself Up also available from my agents, Valerie Hoskins Associates.
We go into studio at the end of October with my adaptation of ALICE THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS which is planned as a Radio 4 Christmas special. Julian Rhind Tutt is going to play Lewis Carroll which is excellent news!
I've noticed a number of hits looking for information about my Chandler / Hitchcock radio play, STRANGERS ON A FILM. Inspired, I guess, by the BFI's big Hitchcock season.
Should anybody be interested, I've prepared a stage version of STRANGERS in a double bill with DOUBLE JEOPARDY, my Chandler / W...
Very excited to have signed a contract today with Endeavour Press to publish my gay thriller BIG DIPPER as an e-book.
Despite my reservations (see below), the team have done their usual thorough job on the dvd reissue and I'm delighted the Victoria Wood parody is thrown in.
Overall Greatest Show is proving once again considerably more popular with fans than Paradise Towers (hard for it to be less popular) a...

My lovely BBC radio producer Claire Grove and I have just reached an agreement with Nick Hern Books to write a book (it's part of a series) called SO YOU WANT TO WRITE A RADIO PLAY?
Very much looking forward to working with Claire and Nick. We're due to deliver our manuscript early next year.

Just been into rehearsals for the new Krazy Kat show THE PIED PIPER in my role as dramaturg to the company. The puppets are fantastic and the show promises to be well up to KK's usual very high standards.
