new writing for theatre
Grand Conversation
rehearsed reading

As part of the next Lewes Live Literature WORKS IN PROGRESS event, in which a number of pieces of new writing by local playwrights are presented as rehearsed readings, I'll be trying out a short two-hander with the notional title,
Grand Conversation. The piece is inspired by a chance encounter with a painting by Jack B. Yeats from 1943 (This Grand Conversation was Under the Rose) and features a freewheeling dialogue between a sad clown and a feisty female equestrian.

Works in Progress #8 takes place at the All Saints Centre, Lewes, on 1st September at 7.45pm
Tickets are available through the Lewes Live Literature website,
