From a forty foot 'IKEA' to a five foot 'Comet', Frank's been the master for thirty years. But in his heart, he always yearned to work with slightly smaller letters...novels. Spy novels, in fact. Stories of espionage, treachery, unexpected encounters in dangerous places, disasters, explosions and daring rescues. Problem is, they never felt authentic. That is, until the day Frank turned up for work and found all those things starting to happen for real. A comedy about a fifty-seven year old man of letters learning the greatest lesson in life - how to live happily ever after. Absolutely Frank began as a one act play A Man Of Letters which was commissioned by Alan Ayckbourn and performed at the Stephen Joseph in 1991. 2006     OUR HOUSE Written by Tim Firth Music by MADNESS Directed by Matthew Warchus This musical set in Camden, is a fast moving romantic comedy, which tells the story of Joe Casey, his mates, his girlfriend Sarah and the night he commits a petty crime to impress her. Following the two courses his life would have taken had he stayed to face the music when the police appear on the scene or bunked the law and made a run for it.   Olivier Award for Best New Musical 2003 MORE HERE >> THE SAFARI PARTY Written by Tim Firth Directed by Alan Ayckbourn Produced by Stephen Joseph Theatre, Scarborough Transferred to Hampstead Theatre, London. 2002 MORE HERE >> LOVE SONGS FOR SHOPKEEPERS Written by Tim Firth Directed by Alan Ayckbourn Produced by Stephen Joseph Theatre, Scarborough.   1998 THE END OF THE FOOD CHAIN Written by Tim Firth Directed by Connal Orton Produced by the Stephen Joseph Theatre, Scarborough. 1994 MORE HERE >> NEVILLE'S ISLAND Written by Tim Firth Originally produced by Stephen Joseph Theatre, June 1992.
