a recent review generously compared me to Alan ayckbourne, and although I would consider the great man an inspiration, we both premier our work in our hometown Theatre, personally I would compare my humour more to that of Mike Leigh. I too derive great pleasure and humour from the embarrassment of circumstance and in the more unsavoury aspects of human behaviour. My one-act plays retained the BeST ORIGINaL SCRIPT award in the NODa Drama festival (2002/2003/2004).
