"Gets so, nobody's story's true. Not yours, not mine. But it's all we've got."
First and Fiftieth



My writing - drama and fiction - covers many different characters and situations, ranging from the real to the fantastic, from the deeply serious to the slyly comic, from sensitive to offensive.


As a director of theatre, I am still learning my trade.

  POSTPONED from March 2020 MAY 2022 DIRECTOR 


Hay Fever


In 2020 I was pleased to be directing Noel Coward's masterpiece Hay Fever for the Edinburgh Graduate Theatre Group ("The Grads"). This would be the third production (after The Rose and Crown in 2016 and Volpone in 2017) they entrusted me with and before Covid-19 struck.


Coward's work is deceptive - to create his light comedy requires intense preparation by the actors, who have to give pitch-perfect characterisations - but I was fortunate to have a talented cast who were creating a memorably frothy and funny production and to have working with me assistant director Vanashree Thapliyal.


The production is now scheduled for May 2022. Uptodate information can be found on the The Grads website.
