What connects a prisoner in Peterhead, in the North East of
Scotland with a quarryman in North Wales? How did Ron Egyptian get
his nickname? We know all about the Holy Grail, but what about the
Knight's other (and some may say even more difficult) quest?
Following the successful publication of his story-in-verse 'A Fishy
Tail' in 2010, Ballad of the Rocks and other writings, brings
together a selection of his other writings in this collection
ranging from the serious to the absurd. They are all designed with
the spoken word in mind. Dave's passion for improvising and
experimenting with words shines through, whether telling the tales
of the Ballad of the Rocks, the Other Quest, evoking memories of
childhood or creating nonsense verse. For many years he has
written, recorded and performed music for theatre, film and live
events. He sculpts and creates from slate and stone, working from
his workshop alongside other artists at Parc Glynllifon in North
Wales. (Artistiaid yr Iard-iard.co.uk). As well as all these
activities, Dave uses his creativity to design, develop and deliver
creative active training courses and events for all ages.
A collection of comedic and dramatic monologues with 50 monologues
for guys and 50 monologues for girls.
