Welcome
Photography Manon Houston
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.
Production news – Autumn 2025
I’m very excited to announce that The German Premier of When We were Wild is in rehearsal at Staatstheater Oldenburg with the German title of Unsere Wilden Jahre. Translated by Michael Raab. The premiere is on 9th November and the play is directed by Julia Friede.
In Belfast, The Musicians Of Bremen Live! will be part of the Belfast International Theatre Festival which runs from 30th October to 2nd November. Presented by Cahoots NI and directed by Paul McEneaney, the show will go on to tour the US next year.
Also touring the US in January is Secrets of Space - a spectacular piece of educational theatre.
A brand new show for Christmas and beyond is The Secret Bookshop which will open in Belfast in December at Cahoot’s own theatre space in Cityside. Directed by Paul McEneaney with design by Diane Ennis.
Tony Graham will be directing my Sleeping Beauty at East 15 acting school for a run of 12 performances in December.
The play is published by Aurora Metro Press and has enjoyed more than 30 productions worldwide since it began life at Polka Theatre about 25 years ago.
This time round, it will be performed by the International Students at the college - with music by Colin Sell ('Sorry I Haven't a Clue').
