BREAKING NEWS.........My new two act festival play, TWO BY TWO is available for reading. This play consists of two connected pieces, TWILIGHT and IN LOVING MEMORY. Twilight is a play for two male actors, both in their seventies and In Loving Memory is a sister play for two female actors, one mid fifties and one early thirties. The setting is very simple for both plays.
Anyone interested in 'having a gawk', just send me your email and I shall send it flying through the air in your general direction.,

My friends, we will not go again or ape an ancient rage,
Or stretch the folly of our youth to be the shame of age,
But walk with clearer eyes and ears this path that wandereth,
And see undrugged in evening light the decent inn of death;
For there is good news yet to hear and fine things to be seen,
Before we go to Paradise by way of Kensal Green.

G K Chesterton
