M2/F2 (one aged 9 years)

The dramatic rescue of a girl on the Cornish coastline is linked by the account of an elderly man, who has waited to tell a similar story most of his life. 

Can they both convince those who doubt them, that the incredible events, connected by many decades apart, did really happen? 

Running time: Approximately 11 minutes.

‘A very uplifting piece with some intriguing twists and turns. I very much enjoyed the fantasy elements that became evident towards the end of the piece’. Underscore Studios

M4/F4 or M3/F4

Full length, drama/light comedy

Take one actor who wants to act; a brother, daughter and neighbour who want him to; another daughter who doesn’t, and an actor - who can’t! 

The scene is set for an entertaining, poignant and humorous drama about family relationships, ageing and hope. 

Can Tim begin to find his inner confidence, and believe that there may be a chance to act for one final time?

* Although the main character is experiencing the very early stages of dementia, I have deliberately only touched on his illness, as it is not the main theme of the play. My aim was to write an entertaining play with a minimal amount of conflict, which would also remind us that kindness prevails. It is not a laugh-a-minute comedy, although it has much gentle humour throughout. 

Running time: Approximately 90 minutes.

‘Tim and Eddie’s easy rapport, good humour, and sharing of nostalgic memories, created very credible characters. Tim, living on his own had a particular touch of poignancy, lightened by his new friendship with the charming young resident of the nearby flat. The dialogue reflecting the contrast between the two sisters, clearly painted their characters. As for the audition scene – what fun!’ Flavia McCarney

M2 - or any combination of either sex

Running time: Approximately 11 minutes.
