Calling the Tune 

Based on Roger Harding’s 2002 studio production, Calling the Tune is set in 1980 in the Loire Valley, mid-western France. Elizabeth visits her estranged, housebound mother Gisele. But is she really housebound ? Why has she not ventured out for 30 years ? Why does she keep the shutters closed ? Slowly Elizabeth teases out Gisele’s past – even though she would much rather not reveal the real reason for her shame. But it is through the medium of a simple piece of music for piano and soprano that Elizabeth’s most difficult question is answered: who is her father ?

The Shakespeare Hauntings

A six part TV series

A succession of actors turns up to the Shakespeare Theatre for audition. Every one of them is an overlooked, but top quality actor - but they are cast as understudies and, one by one, they die in a cheap house they have rented for the duration of the show - in mysterious circumstances. The Fool is hanged, Ophelia drowns - but no one has seen anything; there is not even any forensic evidence - and the police are baffled.

The Shakespeare Hauntings

a co-production between Two Hats and Shift 7 Films, is a six part series being produced for local TV.

The Shakespeare Hauntings made the official selection for the Filming Shakespeare Competition
