PROJECTS
"IN DEVELOPMENT"
(stage play)
writer
A stage version of my TV comedy drama entitled IN DEVELOPMENT - set in the world of international development and loosely inspired by my many years of working in South East Asia - will have its debut, fittingly in Phnom Penh, on Saturday 2nd December. Directed by Chas Hamilton, former head of BBC Media Action (Cambodia) for Lo-Key Theater, the play takes a satirical look at the shenanigans that go on behind the closed doors of a fictional, dysfunctional Independent NGO, founded by the late Lady Felicity Furkin-Shaw (FFS).
