My most recent project in collaboration with my daughter Abigail
is a play called 'The Man Upstairs'. This is the fictional story
of a young English girl's spiritual journey, set against the changes
in Russia during the period of Gorbachev's 'glasnost' and 'perestroika'
in 1990.
Her transition from a commonplace atheism to a faith in God, is
told in short often very funny scenes which form part of an interrogation
by Russian police continuing to investigate the murder of Alexander
Men 10 years after the event. In real life, Abigail was herself
baptised by Father Alexander at Eastertime, 1990.
Other past drama projects include: with other members of the Lanark
Writers' Circle, a radio 'soap' for Radio Avon FM, regular contributions
to 'the Monday Lizard'- the monthly cabaret event at the Traverse
Theatre in Edinburgh - and other occasional group productions there.
