Five One-Act Faith Plays

These five one-act plays were written to stimulate debate in the faith community over such topics as the after-life (Stardust Melody), growing old (Now We Are Sixty), faith (The Word), pacifism (George Fox and Margaret Fell Get Stuck in a Lift) and Christian beliefs (One of that Despised People).

All the plays have benefited from tours throughout the United Kingdom, Germany and Denmark where the after-show discussions informed the author and casts and resulted in changes in the final draft of the plays.
