The Dishwasher - A worker in a nameless, faceless, basement kitchen begins his work as a dishwasher and relishes informing us of every fine detail of his job. A disturbing, nightmare-ish study of the uneducated, unqualified and oppressed workers of the world finding their voice. . . . Confessions Of A Rock 'n' Roll Star - The world has rock n roll stars, for that we must be thankful. Sadly, we're not all going to get to be one. Nonetheless, millions of us can still pose in front of our mirrors with tennis racquets and sweeping brushes slung between our legs like fake guitars and dream and that's better than nothing. Featuring classic rock tracks, wallow indulgently in a one-man fantasy guitar solo as homage to a wasted youth. . . . Gauguin's Ghost - An informal study of the life of the artist Paul Gauguin. A well-researched piece, it explores the idea that Gauguin, on his deathbed, sold his soul to a witch doctor in exchange for immortality in spirit form. We meet those who shaped his art and hear tell of how he pursued his own singular vision at all costs. . . . Tommy Greaves - Is an alternative take on 'Billy Elliot'. Older than Billy, Tommy tells his own, maturer story of the grittier realities of what it meant to be young and unemployed during the Miner's Strike of 1984. This work was given a public reading in English in Paris in February 2015. . . . Unspoken - Written in 2015 as 'Two Gendarmes' and then updated in 2019 as 'Unspoken', it is a story of an older, more seasoned French policeman instructing a younger female recruit to the obvious and the not-so-obvious elements of the job. first performed in French May 2023 in Nantes, France.
Autorenporträt
Darlington for Culture Review This is the story of an ordinary boy from an ordinary working-class family in an ordinary northern town. If that sounds ordinary, it's not!Jethro Anson Nowsty was born and brought up in Darlington and we follow his life from his very earliest memories up to his approaching adulthood. This mixed-up kid was born in the early 1960s and the author describes everyday life as it was then - warts 'n' all. The music, food, transport, housing and entertainment of the 1960s and 1970s are all brought into clear focus in a series of short stories. Instead of a strictly chronological order, the author goes back and forth through the years writing in a way that draws the reader back in time to when a computer filled a whole room and dialling a phone number took longer than the call itself. All of this is interwoven with national and international news and the background to all of these stories is Darlington. All the landmark buildings, roads and parks, shops and schools are mentioned and described. It's a history of a special time in a special town, told with humour and affection through the eyes of a special 'mixed-up kid'.'
