It’s less than a week before rehearsals start for my play ‘According to Claudia’ – and I can hardly wait. At the moment, it looks like I’ll be assistant director to my wife Caroline – which probably means I’ll be making tea and coffee for the cast.

Excerpt from my new play

Meanwhile, I’ve been busy working on my next stage play, provisionally entitled ‘Wedded Blitz’ about a novelist suffering from writer’s block whose second marriage is about to hit the rocks as he hits the bottle. The first draft is now complete – so I’ll give it the acid test i.e. let Caroline read it.  If she likes it enough I’ll be arranging for some of Newport Playgoers’ finest to get together for a reading – and looking forward to their invaluable feedback.

It started off almost as a comedy but got darker and darker as it went along. There’s a brief extract from an early scene here.
