It’s the morning after a wild night. Miles is passed out in the basement and his house is in ruins. So far so normal. But something lurks upstairs that threatens to change his world for good.

Thanks to Dominic, Michael and Suzanne for their hard-hitting rendition of Inside My Head last month.

I was delighted to be a part of The Platform and impressed by the imaginative, well-balanced programme that Bread & Roses put together. There’s a new Platform in May with five new plays. I’d advise you to catch it if you can.

This month I’ve been testing some work-in-progress at the Constellation Creatives CoLab, a night of short dramatic pieces at the Hospital Club in Covent Garden. It was good to get a scene from my new play, Closed, up and running in front of an audience. There’s no better way to find out what works and what still needs attention.

Meanwhile I’ve added a link to a recent profile piece in the Shoreham Herald, telling the story of my move to London and some of the sacrifices in the life of a writer.
