January 2025
My new full-length play, Make Peace (Not Love), was given a reading at The Charter House, London EC1, on 14th January.
MAKE PEACE (NOT LOVE)
Frustrated that the male-dominated committee of the Parish Pump Players so often ignores the fact that the majority of the acting membership is female, the women decide to take matters into their own hands and stage a freely-adapted production of Lysistrata. Make Peace Not Love is a light comedy, but one or two weightier issues are hiding in the wings.
With thanks to the following actors for their participation and feedback:
- Samantha Parry (Liz / Calonice)
- Laura Fitzpatrick (Joanna / Lysistrata
- Eleanor Caird (Imogen / Lampito)
- Sophie Morris-Sheppard (Nicky / Myrrhine)
- Karen McCaffrey (Diana / Stratyllis)
- Mansel David (Claud / Ambassador)
- Mike Duran (Patrick / Kinesias)
