My name is Paul Ransom and I am a freelance writer (and now playwright). Anyway, as chance would have it I have not only written a play but have a possible director on board. He suggested I make cotnact with people in the industry and try and find someone to produce and so ... Just for the record the play is a three act show of approx 85mins called 'An Absent Presence', which I would describe as an existential soap opera, in that it contains a bizarre love quadrangle, drug use, betrayal, gun play, a guilty shrink, scrabble and metaphysical musings on the nature of language, love and madness. It's kinda like 'The Bold & The Abstract.' (Oh yeah, and its got very strong roles for women.) Imagine if Beckett had written a few episodes of 'Neighbours' - or something like that. So, point being, if you are even vaguely interested in perusing the script and/or meeting I would be very keen indeed. If any of this intrigues and/or pricks your curiosity, please let me know and we can either arrange to meet or just email. Paul Ransom 0417 837 231 / ransom.paul@gmail.com

Strikes me that they are looking for someone with money. Is that all there is? Well if that's all there is my friend, then let's keep dancing. www.tonymoore.id.au
