Winning the Scott Salver at the finals of the 2023 SCDA One Act Festival in Stirling, the fourth time I’ve been awarded this trophy.

Off the Record

I've added another new one act comedy to my catalogue. This script only requires two actors (1m, 1f), is easy to stage, and would be ideal for an evening of entertainment. This play was originally named “Title Deeds”, but I had a change of mind. More details can be found in One Act Plays.
