Following the success of Sleeping Beauty, Park Theatre's annual Christmas show returns with their second instalment of The Chronicles of Waa. With original music, magic and plenty of laughter for the whole family, Jack and the Beanstalk is a tale of friendship, love and Tupperware: lots of Tupperware! In Gazoob, the land of the Giants, evil inventor Ms Grimm wants world domination and it seems there is nothing her lovely daughter Grenthel and Geoff, the smallest giant in the world, can do to stop her. Meanwhile in Nowen, a peaceful but poor Kingdom, Jack and his mum Tina struggle to pay the rent. To make matters worse, they have to get rid of their trusted cow, Daisy. When Grimm's evil plan lands at their feet, all seems doomed. But what will save the day and unite these two kingdoms? Jack's heroic deeds at the Nowenthian Sports festival? Tina's extensive knowledge of antique Tupperware? Or will the musical, Mariachi oracles known as 'The Shepherds Gonzales' have the answer? The future of the Land of Waa is at stake!

The following is a selection of plays that I have written and that have been performed on numerous occasions with different Drama Groups I have worked with throughout the years.The first nine plays - The Lion and the Mouse, The Little Red Hen, The Gingerbread Man, The Ants and the Grasshopper, The Enormous Turnip, Chicken Licken, The Hare and the Tortoise, The Three Billy Goats Gruff, The Ugly Duckling and The Boy Who Cried Wolf - are all based on well-known and well-loved, traditional children's stories. The play Chinese New Year is based on the legend of how each animal became associated with a Chinese year. The Lonely Dragon is based on a therapeutic story I wrote about isolation and making friends. How the Zebra got his Stripes tells the fun story of the legend of how all the different jungle animals came to look like they do today. The Selfish Giant is based on the very popular short story by Oscar Wilde; The Land of Trolls and Gargoyles is a play about a child's attachment to his parent, and No Excuse deals with the topic of bullying. Caught in the Act, At Doctor's Crowne and A Winter's Tale have fewer characters and can be used in a small drama class or with smaller groups. Finally, Anne of Green Gables is a duologue based on the very famous book Anne of Green Gables by L. M. Montgomery. In the scene, Anne accidentally gets Diana drunk and chaos ensues.
