My latest solo show Daddy's Diaries has now been professionally filmed and is
available as a DVD, price £10 plus postage. This is a non-profit-making venture, with 20% of takings going to the charity War Child (https://www.warchild.org.uk). The sealed case includes photos and explanatory notes. To buy, please contact me (scroll down for details).
Daddy's Diaries is the true story of my father's journey through war to peace, with his original clarinet and piano recordings, and slides throughout. Humorous, poignant, with unexpected twists. Suitable for Y6 to adult.
The play has toured since 2015 and was chosen for an Arts Council grant for performances in Cambridgeshire Libraries. Thanks to all who made all the evenings so successful!
