Creative

I’ve also done various creative bits and bobs over the years.

My radio play Down the Wanderers won a bronze Sony Award (now called the Radio Academy Awards) for best drama script, and another award for Best Radio Drama Special at the New York Radio Festival. You can listen to it here, although the quality isn’t brilliant (I’m still trying to track down a decent digital copy).

I’ve also had some plays staged on the London Fringe. I wrote a large scale play for The New Factory of the Eccentric Actor, titled Lichtenberg, to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Final Call, a comedy based on my experiences working in West End box office, was performed to great critical acclaim (while still managing to make a negligible impact on my bank account) at the Finborough Theatre. You can read the script here. Other works include The Hold (based on my interview with a British fascist who spent much of WWII imprisoned on an upturned boat in Port Stanley harbour) and Roadshow. We don’t talk about Roadshow though, it was a bit crap (despite the best efforts of a lovely cast).

I’ve written a novel (a western no less, I’m a great flogger of dead horses) called Bitter Creek Posse. You can read excerpts or even buy it here if you’ve a mind to.  

 I always have literary, musical and film projects on the go, much more about which will be found on the other, non CV, section of this website.
