If you have found this website it probably means that you are interested in theatre and in particular theatre for young people, children and their families and I bid you welcome.

Here you will find information about the plays I have been writing over the past thirty years, including plays for adults, adaptations and musicals.

There are synopses of the plays and information about how to get hold of scripts, either for professional or for amateur use.

The Sorcerer’s Apprentice

The production, which was widely acclaimed in reviews, runs in Buxton until 6th June and then goes to Belfast International Festival in the Autumn. Following that, it will move to New York in January 2027, where it opens at the New Victory Theatre.

With fantastic illusions and stirring music power, this original take on Goethe’s poem is a co-production between Cahoots Theatre and Buxton Opera House. Directed by Paul McEneany.

The Guardian's 5 star review of The Sorcerer’s Apprentice at Buxton acclaims the production as "a truly enchanting showcase of theatrical storytelling".

The Guardian review goes on to say that "[the play] can make young audiences truly believe in the magic of theatre".
