Most people are dismissive of incredible things when they occur. They'll tell you they don't know why they happen, they just do. A few will jokingly put them down to being the work of the little people. Hardly anyone would consider divine intervention. Miracles don't fit in well with the modern world. Science can come up with an explanation for so much today, showing us the evidence. Its long-term quest, of course, is to find irrefutable proof that nothing supernatural exists. Well, until it achieves that goal, perhaps we might like to consider the story of Tommy Jackson. The toddler knew...

You would have to be a bit long in the tooth now to remember Johnny Mo hitting the headlines in the sixties. In a career spanning less than ten years, with the help of his colleagues, he solved over a hundred cases, a few of the more notable ones for our government agencies, making him one of the most illustrious private eyes of all time. However, an acute annoyance to the press, Johnny and his crewmembers never once agreed to be interviewed. For most of us, they remained a mystery. I tracked Johnny Mo down in 2008. I felt his was a story that had to be told. He took a lot of convincing of...

There was a time when the five of us were inseparable. Born during the Second World War, we grew up in the same village; three of us in the same road.

We were basically good kids, albeit a little mischievous at times. With a play on the series of Enid Blyton books popular at the time, we named our gang The Infamous Five and shared many wonderful adventures. However, for me to say today we'd known each other all our lives would be misleading. For...

The scene is a seaside guest house. The 'landlady' is a retired drag queen. Two friends from many a year gone by turn up. What could go wrong? There is a cast of three, and a simple set with no scenery changes. For the main character, Ella, much of it is a monologue, with countless asides to make the audience feel a part of it. The part of Ella will benefit, and extend the playing time of 80 - 90 mins typical, if played by someone happy with ad-libbing and able to 'play the audience'. It's crude, but it's a romp THIS IS A DISGUSTINGLY ADULT AND CAMP GAY-THEMED COMEDY WITH LITTLE OR NO REGARD...

If you think you know about the fifties, this story of a family moving to a village might change your mind. It was not a time of innocence or ignorance in anyone. And, though they didn't know it, that was why one of them had to be there.
