In a packed commuter train, Jack, 60s, finds a seat opposite Alice, 70s. They steal glances at each other until Alice takes her chance and asks him a question that leaves everyone gasping. What follows is so shocking that any polite person shouldn't be engaging, but sod it, they all do.
In this comedy against ageism, we are invited for an unusual ride. Like wine that gets better with age, our characters help reminding us that there is nothing sexier than the ’mind’. Even youth pales compared to these two. One Track Mind (OTM) stars the supremely talented Jane Asher, Bill Fellows and Angus Kennedy.
Our society is obsessed with youth and beauty. What was once real is now enhanced by filters on apps and surreal morphs of one's face, while communication skills take a back seat. Older people are marginalised and misrepresented and they shouldn't. The crux of One Track Mind is to show how fun can be to be old. How free, daring, sexy and carefree older people can be.

Award-winning playfilm about a peculiar love affair, shown through the 'consciousness' of stage and the 'subconsciousness' of film. Premiered at the Festival of New Works, UKC. Recipient of the Arts and Humanities Research Board Award. Successful 3 week run at the Greenwich Playhouse.
The Playfilm offers a unique theatrical experience which involves two layers of the same story. Sometimes the layers conflict, other times they agree, often they have a dialogue that pushes the narrative forward and allows the audience to either be behind or ahead of the plot. The interaction is often comical and politically incorrect.
The London playfilm contained a 50 minute sequence which was projected in a key position on the stage and appeared and disappeared at will. Edited either to music or to specifically interact with the action on stage, it provided a totally enjoyable, immersive and multilayered view of the story.
Brit Award Winner Producer Charlie Andrew and his band the Laurel Collective have lend their songs to the 50 min film sequence as did renowned singer/songwriter Richard Navarro.

Alternative rock band Sylvette’s first music video deals with the theme of nature destruction and greed. The haunting lyrics and melodies written, produced and sang by Charlie Sinclair only deserved a cinematic, equally haunted platform.
The song hit 20,000 likes on Facebook and You tube within 15 hours of its release and has received many accolades ever since.

Inspired by Ray Bradbury’s The Veldt, the Libertines takes place in 2063, after the internet imploded and was re-invented and regulated. The cause being the computer game ‘Liberti’ that took the young by storm back in 2025, and offered money to the players who would reach unprecedented levels of disobedience and cruelty against their parents.
Soon the ‘Libertines’ are redefining greed and freedom and as a result the first parental murder takes place, rewarding the gamer with £2million. The play explores brain hacking and the degree of subconscious manipulation of children, as gaming addiction clinics are very real and Momo, Deleted and Blue Whale challenges have already led to suicides. It is currently being developed as an immersive, AR experience for schools.
The playfilm uses Projections and filmic sequences with VFX to portray the birth of the game, the brain altering chemistry, hacking and addiction. It also showcases real addicts and their threats and destructive ways around their parents. It also explores in graphic detail the way games use dark psychology to capture the young minds.
The project was commissioned by the Marlowe Theatre for their programme ROAR.
