Work
Sought: With the exception of musicals and pantomimes, he has
written in almost every genre including revue stretches and very
short plays (10 -15 minutes) and is keen to work with any company
in the UK. As a number of Ken's plays are historically slanted
with modern echoes he wishes to contact companies with similar
views.

Theatrical Experience/Training:
Following his involvement in
amateur theatre in East London and a short period of training at Webber
Douglas School Academy for Drama where he decided the professional
actors' life was not for him, Ken wrote his first full length play, THE
IRON VOICE. This was subsequently produced and published. Many one act
and occasional full length plays followed winning several awards in
festivals in the UK. During this time he managed an amateur group in
East London; acting in and directing his own and other playwright's work
plus working with local amateur groups and two South London Little
Theatre Clubs. He entered the field of drama documentary in 1974 by
scripting and directing a community play on the re-siting and eventual
destruction of the Crystal Palace in Sydenham. Of his present out put 22
plays have been produced and 7 published. In addition there has been the
experience of the obligatory 'clutch' of scripts for live TV plus a
couple of short radio play awards. Now being resident in Normandy, has
inspired THAT MAN MELMOTH and THE ZOLA AFFAIR. A double bill of plays
contrasting Oscar Wilde's brief sojourn near Dieppe after his release
from prison with Emile Zola's stand for Captain Dreyfus, resulting in
his exile to England.
