Everyone knows someone who thinks they know best. In Jubilate! that
someone is Anna, vicar's wife and radio
personality. She has her own life sorted out - apparently - and
now thinks it'd be a good idea to sort out everyone else's......oh
dear. |
THE COMEDY PROJECT
In March 2008 I contributed as writer and performer to the new
season of The Comedy Project (www.comedyproject.co.uk)
at the Soho Theatre. My new play Drastic
Plastic was showcased on Wednesday March 19th.
Daffodil has drastic plastic surgery
to reclaim the years.
Vic hopes bigger breasts will
win back gormless Gavin.
"Change your body, change your life" - isn't that right, girls??? |

Other writing for The Comedy Project has
included:
- Powercut - a short play for
theatre about marriage, cruelty and reality TV;
- Radio 24 (co-written with David
Upsher) - 24 hours of talk radio in 24
minutes.
Carolyn Pertwee and
I have written a new play,
Between Friends, based on an
original idea of Carolyn's. The
play was showcased to much acclaim by Actors & Writers
London in March 2008. Between
Friends will be playing at the OSO in
Barnes for one week from 10th November 2008, with a view to
transferring to a central London venue.
My one-woman show, Jubilate!,
enjoyed a very successful run at the 2005 Edinburgh
Fringe Festival (where it was performed under the title Bruised
Blueberries).
Tim Pigott-Smith and Stephanie
Jacob gave a rehearsed reading of my 2001
play Just for You to an invited
audience at The Actors' Centre,
Covent Garden following which Catherine
Bailey Productions submitted it to the BBC.
Just for You is a one-hour-long
two-hander in which the actor and actress are required to play
several roles and to age from 10 to 84. It deals with omelettes,
incest, facelifts and fairytales - in short the awfulness and
absurdity which lurk behind a conventional family façade.
Co-writer of The Still Born directed

Co-writer of Places to Crash directed

I wrote all the material (character-based)
for my cabaret stand-up sets in the 1990s. See my acting
page for further details.
