About Me

Hi,  I am a poet and writer.  My aim is to entertain, to provoke thought and comment and to encourage other writers to begin writing.  I am the chairman and organiser of The Sheppey and Sittingbourne Writers' Group based in Sheerness, Kent, England. 

 

As well as writing poetry, short stories, narrative poems, and currently working on two novels, I paint pictures. 

 

I have my personal website where I have posted some of my work but I have decided to create this site as an interactive platform for poets and writers. 

This area does not yet contain any content.

Adapting Stories - for revues and comedy

DateThursday, May 29, 2008 at 11:45AM

During my time as a student at Auckland University I messed around with established tales either as short stories for reviews or plays.   I had fun with the story of George and the Dragon turning it into a full length play which is about to undergo modification.   I long ago decided that A Christmas Carol deserved treatment and also that classic, Cinderella, was crying out for modification.   

But the best one, in my humble opinion is, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. 

I have taken it and changed the emphasis with an effort to become politically correct and at the same time mock PC .   Under the title Some Day My Prints Will Come,  the title taken from the popular movie song and the structure of the story more or less following the popular structure of the story familiar to us all.  Other than that with no apologies I look forward to reader's comments.
