“NORAH'S ARK”
My new play, NORAH’s ARK begins rehearsal today. A commission from the Marina Theatre, it’s inspired by real-life flood events of the past in Lowestoft as well as looking at what the future may hold. It’s the story of a little girl, Norah, who has a vision of a catastrophic flood and spends the rest of her life trying to prepare for it and battle climate change. Its sweet, funny and family friendly, running July 6-8th at the Marina in Lowestoft. It’s being produced by the Marina and Spinning Wheel Theatre and has a marvellous cast – do please check it out.

John’s powerful and provocative play, THE RESPONSE Produced in Collaboration with the Seagull Theatre and Arts Council England, was the joint winner of the WGGB Olwen Wymark award in 2021, honouring the cast, crew and production.

"The Magic OF Deben Market"
Deben Market, a fishing port on the coast of England, a gentle, picturesque place where the sea laps at the shore and the pace of life is as rhythmic as the waves.

This enigmatic series of short stories will draw you in and compel you to revisit time and again to find all the connections and secrets, revelations and twists.
