Playwriting

KIT KAT KILLER

Still in development. This one is a Guelph Fringe Festival entry. The draw is end of February 2026, with the festival being in August. We'll see if this passes the lottery and moves on. Not revealing anything about the subject at this point except to say it is "hyper-local" and involves municipal politics, housing and a family torn apart. More HERE

 

BURKE & HARE

Full length play about these notorious murderers. Set in 19th century Edinburgh Scotland. A true story. Large ensemble cast, great poetry and wonderful summaries thanks to the ballad sellers of the day.

RIGHT AS RAIN

One act play set in 19th century Guelph (or any Ontario town). 3 male 1 female. Let's just say, love leads to family troubles.

SPITFIRE

One Act play. Modern day. 2 female, 2 male, 1 male 8-10years old. War affects families for several generations.

10 minute plays.

Inspired by local theatre impresario, Eric Goudie, I decided to try my hand at this. These would be fun for play reading parties. Also fun for 10 minute play festivals.

1. RENOVICTION

Graham and Eloise receive an N13 renoviction notice during the housing crisis. Seniors about to face homelessness. 4 characters - the couple Graham & Eloise, a Paralegal, a female friend.

2. SMILE

Inspired by a performance of this Charlie Chaplin song performed by Ken Gee & Sadie Fields, this is a story of a single man and his cat. 1 character - the man. The cat is created by the actions of the actor and the imagination of the audience.
