‘Danny’
Synoposis-Danny, a thirteen year old boy bullied at school fluffs his lines when giving a speech to the Lord Mayor, and runs out of school . Where has he gone? What’s happened to him? Danny is eventually found, rescued from the waters of the Thames. He tells his parents he was thrown over Waterloo Bridge. But is he telling the truth? Structured in non-linear format, we find out about Danny, and what really happened.

‘Montgomery’
Synopsis-Montgomery is a desk clerk in a classy hotel. Lily is a classy hooker. The two people get on very well. Given the right circumstances they might get on even better!
‘Montgomery’ was first staged at the Hope Theatre in London as part of ‘Summer Showers’ in 2015, where it was decribed as’a light-hearted disposable piece of fluff and gloriously entertaining’. It was subsequently produced by Bench Theatre, Havant, and at the Wedgewood Rooms in Portsmouth, with the same two actors.
