This is where I indulge myself properly…

…writing and performing in equal measure

In 2018 I persuaded my long-time friend and acting colleague, Peter Franksson, into a joint venture. Both of us liked to write. Both of us liked to act. What if we pooled our resources to produce our own material? So, we did – but not on our own.

Balancing our own (male) voices are two talented, professional actresses: first came Jacqui Padden, followed later by Sandie Keane.

Our live performances came to an abrupt halt in 2020 when the pandemic left its mark, but we turned a problem into an opportunity by switching to audio dramas (The JAPE Collective).

One of these (DUMMY CABS) later made the transition to a live show by a sister company, and two more (WHO CARES? and THE QUIET ONE) were snapped up for broadcast in the USA.
