R&D support, and script in hand reading. The Salberg, Salisbury Playhouse. Elements of noir meet present day uncertainties when cleaner STEF comes across a document in the MOD weather unit that lays out research to dominate international conflict zones by altering weather systems. Not only that, the research experiment is happening right now in the UK, or so she believes. It’s spookily hot for February. Trouble is her two friends and an overlarge dog are useless right now so she’s forced to go it alone, down the dark streets, to face off the threat. The play is being developed with rewrites, supported by Marlowe Theatre, Canterbury script writers’ group. Here’s hoping that live theatre will at some future point happen again. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5e9f06dd03f5b068dc3b516c/t/5eada0133f097262cc272295/1588526397537/ In Development - SHORT FICTION COLLECTION ALL AT SEA (working title) An ongoing collection of stories that looks at ordinary lives in all their extraordinary, perplexing, detail. Many of the stories are set on, or beside, the sea as if this element stands in for the enormities, for the ebb and flow, and final washing away of all our lives. What all the stories share is attention to undercurrents and nuances, to the ludicrous, the hilarious, the tragic, as people go about the puzzling business of their lives. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5e9f06dd03f5b068dc3b516c/t/5ea2eece7d71513938e14ec1/1587736281091/WhatsApp+Image+2020-04-18+at+11.36.53%23.jpeg In Development - LEXI & THE FOX R&D support Salisbury Arts Centre. With Samuel De La Torre, Xavier De Santos, Fay Greenhalgh, Jamie Ruther, Carolyn Csonka. Pathology, pursuit and privilege. A play with music and choreography exploring the dark heart of blood sports.
