Self Stirred Conscience is part of the 'Play(s) Time' series that also includes the collection of four short, Northern English plays; 'Shorts'. This series aimed at increasing the accessibility of play scripts for readers. It is a series inclusive of plays that can be read indepedently or performed at a drama or theatre club.
Self Stirred Conscience is a collection of two plays, incorporating conscience as a theme in each play.
Conscience Court
A monologue for 1 female, lasting upwards of 35 minutes. Music is an important element to this play, as it sets the tone and mood. A playlist can be found within the play.
The 'Conscience Court' is a facility available to those who feel that the legal system has done them an injustice. The Court has the ability to expunge convictions where it feels that a moral wrong has been perpetrated by the system upon an individual. Elena, a shop assistant of Bulgarian descent, feels that she has been un fairly treated by the boss of the packaging factory, where she was employed and puts her case to the Court. Her plea is to the audience (the Court) relating her story and reasoning as to why the outcome should rule in her favour. Slips are handed to the audience with a "Yes/No" voting choice so that a decision is taken and a result made known. A thoroughly engaging monologue with a presentational twist.
Self Stirred
Looks into the new topic of the changing face and nature (for the good???) of coffee shops, whilst at the same time, addressing older themes such as letting go and betrayal as an integral part of friendship. Lisa cuts a lonely figure in a modern coffee shop, aloof and inaccessible, as friends Roy and Alan and business partners Laura and Ellie, try to break through the mist that surrounds Lisa. As they do so they become slightly lost themselves and each one begins a quest for clearness and clarity. Alan's Siderodromophobia (fear of trains) takes him and the audience on a compelling journey of discovery. It is often an unlikely source that helps you overcome your worst fears!
The theme of story selling is given an oblique perspective, as morals and consciences are tested and personalities begin to collide. Who is taking who for a ride, or is each one just waiting for the right train?
The above two plays are perfect to form part of this offering that explores the theme of the conscience. Dry humour decorates both of these offerings in order to make the serious topics covered entertaining, as well as authoritative.
Don't judge a book by its cover, but judge the characters in it by their actions.

About the Author
I have also published another book of my plays entitled 'SHORTS' and also two children's' books; 'Harry the Tortoise (is on his way)' and 'Bryony the Blue-Footed Booby'.
My aim, always, when writing is to make reading fun. This is why I chose to write 'Harry the Tortoise (is on his way)' from the point of view of a strawberry obsessed; red-footed tortoise. A theme I continued when choosing to write 'Bryony the Blue-Footed Booby' from the point of view of a blue-footed booby living in the Galapagos Islands.
I hope you enjoy my work.
