DON'T DESTROY ME, a nine character play about a tailor’s apprentice who cannot fit into the close knit world of cloth. Written in a heightened form of prose, the play focuses on the tender but inarticulate boy and girl who suffer a kind of aboulia, and cannot escape the suffocating grip of craft trade. First performed at the New Lindsay, Theatre, Notting Hill Gate, London. Published by Nimbus Books. Awarded Arts Council Play Bursary.

THE CUTTING OF THE CLOTH, an unperformed play about the minute by minute details of bespoke tailoring. The bellicose sick boss dies at his desk, his friends and enemies do not find a better world without him. There is a constant display of banter and cynicism which over-laps the human tragedy.

THREE INTO TWO WON’T GO, a lost comedy about two Brixton Jamaicans and a white girl who won’t be fooled by their playfulness. This play had one in-house reading in north London, but later all scripts disappeared.
