Somebody Up There Likes Us - In a country of much water but little fertile land and the other of abundant crops but limited water, two border guards diligently guard the frontier between them. With no common language, they maintain a fragile peace until one day an unidentified aircraft drops a small wooden box by parachute, inside is a bottle that contains a strange liquid. . . . Le Petoman - Based loosely on the biography 'Le Petomane' by Caradec and Nohain, 'Le Petomane' was aka Joseph Pujol, a real-life baker who hit upon the novelty of turning wind into a ribald entertainment, packing the Moulin Rouge, proof positive that sophistication and crudity make strange bed-fellows! . . . Pressure - Released after ten months for good behaviour on a two-year sentence for dealing, 'Pressure' is a study of how pressure from former friends and contacts continue to tempt him back to the path that caused his downfall. It relies on an inner world of action rather than speech and silences in which outside interruptions create a menacing mood. The pressure to cope with that menace is also a challenge for the audience. Space Station - On a dark and lonely hill outside of town two strangers meet. One has gone to set up a telescope to try and spot re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere of a decommissioned Russian space station and the other has gone to distract the former while his fellow villain burgles the former's home. Chance plays a part when the sole bolt from the space station lands nearby. Like Riding A Bike (a feature-length screenplay) - Set in North East England, a fatherless boy of 9, David Lovatt, disturbed by deja-vu and dreams, bright but bullied at school (and unable to ride a bike) lives on a run-down estate near Durham City with Mum Lisa, who struggles with low-paid jobs whilst hiding a secret: a hit-and-run accident years before in which Lisa's unpunished ex killed a female pedestrian and her son. Lisa and David have been running ever since. Submitted to the Children's Film and Television Foundation in 2004, it made number four of a list of films up for production but sadly they had enough budget for only the first three.

Notă biografică

On 'X': "Six years in the making, X is a powerful piece of promenade theatre that playwright Tony Stowers describes as his "labour of love"; it's a passion that's evident throughout the play. A modern-day tale of love, loss, sex and identity, the cast consist of just two actors: the equally impressive Terry Betts and David Hannah, who portray four well-crafted characters you genuinely care about. The opening scene - in which straight friends Dave and Mark discuss their dubious sex lives and opinions on homosexuality, while intermittently shouting lewd comments to passing women - could have been a cliché-ridden disaster. Instead, the dialogue is painfully accurate, as it remains throughout. Despite very little verbal interaction, the crucial scene, in which Dave allows himself to be seduced by the charismatic Stewart during a game of chess, is passionate and makes for slightly uncomfortable viewing, while the close of the play, which sees live-in lovers John and Stewart part ways, is genuinely moving. Staging X at The End (one of Newcastle's best-known gay bars) will undoubtedly bring theatre to audiences who may not otherwise access it. Unfortunately, however, it's also unlikely to attract the audience it so widely deserves.-Amy Rudd, The Tyne & Wear Metro Magazine, March 2006.
