Plays

As with my short stories my plays reflect an interest in writing folk tales for adults and older children.

I have supplied the full text of these plays. If you are interested performing them, please contact me.

The Princess in the Tower (1991) is set during the crusades. It describes one knight's attempt to lay seige to an enchanted castle using charm rather than violence. A battle of wits ensues.

Cinderella and Buttons (1990) tells the real story of what happened to a poor working girl who had hopes of marrying a handsome prince.

Both plays were produced by the Menlo Players Guild in 1991.

The Poisoned Cup (1986) (my first attempt at writing a play) is set in a mythical land, where Prince Rudolf is poisoned two weeks after his wedding to Queen Saralinda. This was produced as a lunchtime production at Cambridge.
