Washing dishes and writing plays.

'"He writes with fury, passion and compassion about those whose voices are seldom heard" - Financial Times. "A powerful new voice in the theatre" - The Daily Telegraph.

"A gently riveting story, its ecology worn lightly, beautifully acted" - Financial Times. "River's Up was a small masterpiece.

Portrayed through the dramatic experiences of an ordinary couple, it could justifiably be described as a working man's Titanic" - Radio Times.

A must see show" - The Oxford Times... reviews for 'River's Up' for Stephen Joseph Theatre, Swan Theatre, Oxfordshire Theatre Company, BBC Radio 4 and Teatro Cometa, Rome.

Arts Theatre, London, 503 Theatre, Latitude Festival and a major national tour.

Not bad reviews, eh? And there's loads more like that... So with all that success behind me, what am I doing at the moment? Well actually, I'm working as a 'KP' - a Kitchen Porter in a busy hotel, washing dishes, scouring pots and pans, sweeping and scrubbing floors and emptying bins in a place with a hierarchy that is positively Medieval, and believe me I really am at the very bottom of the pile! It's exhausting, relentless, physical work and is mind-numbingly boring and I hate it! After an eight-hour shift with one half hour break I get home completely knackered and guess what I do then? I write of course!
