New Play: The Perfect Match

I am currently working on a new three-act comedy, ‘The Perfect Match’. It’s my 24th three-act comedy and I have been writing it for the past few months.
I am on Act 3 at the moment, but I am still editing and it’ll be a while before it’s finished.
It tells the story of the tentative relationship between Claire and Anthony, which is threatened when their mothers fall out.
I’ll post updates as they happen.

Three-Act Plays Update

As drama groups begin to tentatively choose plays again and cautiously think of staging productions, there is still an air of uncertainty about everything.
Finally, I’ve got around to updating the ‘three-act plays’ list on this website and all twenty-three synopses (and character lists) are finally available to read. This includes my latest play, ‘Finders Keepers’.
It’s good to be back!

New Play: Finders Keepers

I started work on a new three-act comedy late last year. It is titled ‘Finders Keepers’ and will be my 23rd three-act comedy.
I have reached Act 3: Scene 1 of the first draft and am very happy with what I’ve written so far. The characters have really come to life and I am comfortable writing for all of them.
The story is a love triangle set in rural Ireland.
