With no common language, they maintain a fragile peace until one day an unidentified aircraft drops a small wooden box by parachute, inside is a bottle that contains a strange liquid. . . .

Somebody Up There Likes Us - In a country of much water but little fertile land and the other of abundant crops but limited water, two border guards diligently guard the frontier between them. With no common language, they maintain a fragile peace until one day an unidentified aircraft drops a small wooden box by parachute, inside is a bottle that contains a strange liquid. . . . Le Petoman - Based loosely on the biography 'Le Petomane' by Caradec and Nohain, 'Le Petomane' was aka Joseph Pujol, a real-life baker who hit upon the novelty of turning wind into a ribald entertainment, packing the Moulin Rouge, proof positive that sophistication and crudity make strange bed-fellows! . . . Pressure - Released after ten months for good behaviour on a two-year sentence for dealing, 'Pressure' is a study of how pressure from former friends and contacts continue to tempt him back to the path that caused his downfall. It relies on an inner world of action rather than speech and silences in which outside interruptions create a menacing mood. The pressure to cope with that menace is also a challenge for the audience. Space Station - On a dark and lonely hill outside of town two strangers meet. One has gone to set up a telescope to try and spot re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere of a decommissioned Russian space station and the other has gone to distract the former while his fellow villain burgles the former's home. Chance plays a part when the sole bolt from the space station lands nearby. Like Riding A Bike (a feature-length screenplay) - Set in North East England, a fatherless boy of 9, David Lovatt, disturbed by deja-vu and dreams, bright but bullied at school (and unable to ride a bike) lives on a run-down estate near Durham City with Mum Lisa, who struggles with low-paid jobs whilst hiding a secret: a hit-and-run accident years before in which Lisa's unpunished ex killed a female pedestrian and her son. Lisa and David have been running ever since. Submitted to the Children's Film and Television Foundation in 2004, it made number four of a list of films up for production but sadly they had enough budget for only the first three.

Autorenporträt
"On one of the hottest nights of the year, a one-man show at the tiny, stuffy Etcetera is not an exciting prospect. It is a measure of the quality of Tony Stowers' performance that he keeps you in your seat as he trawls the murky world of the space jockey " . . . . ."this morality tale for our times makes for an entertaining hour - and one that would transfer very well to radio."-Lyn Gardner, The Guardian, July 2004. "Tony Stowers' one-man show uncovers a seamy side of contemporary capitalism - the world of the "space jockeys", high-pressure hucksters who sell worthless advertising space in impressive-sounding but bogus publications."-Jason Best, The Stage, July 2004.Click to read the full review "Do you want to earn what you're worth? What are you worth? What is any of us worth? Well, my friends, if you can you persuade a person you've never met to pay a few grand plus for something that doesn't exist, armed with nothing more than an empty wallet, wordplay, some imagination, bare-faced bullshit and a telephone, then you are worth something to me.So sit yourselves down and make yourselves comfortable. This'll only take about an hour. My name is Bob Page but I want you to call me Uncle Bob. And today, Uncle Bob and his little chums are going to show you every sneaky, underhand trick in the space jockey's book. Think you've seen it all in 'The Office'? My friends, you ain't seen nothing yet. So leave your pride at the door and prepare to be pitched!". . . . ."Featuring Nirvana, The Stone Roses, Happy Mondays, Killing Joke and EMF, this one-man show tears the industry wide open in a study of the free market at its best . . . and worst.This is not for the faint-hearted. It is black, bitingly funny, breath-taking and provocative. Keep your wits about you, stay focussed, the journey is littered with quality writing and you will not be disappointed. Tony Stowers has done for the morality of aggressive advertising what Wilfrid Owen did for WW1' - Derek Brown.
