Shaka Zulu: A Play.

There can be little doubt that Shaka was a great emperor. A contemporary of Napoleon, he subjugated and ruled over an area larger than his more well-known European counterpart. The fact that, for so long, he remained so little known is, perhaps, a reflection of the popular European idea of the time that nothing "great" could come out of Africa. Shaka's life-story is interesting in itself and this play is an attempt to redress the historical imbalance but it also invites us to consider that the time has perhaps come when we might be ready to re-define all our ideas of greatness.

Two Easter Plays.

15 Sonnets and Other Love Songs.

The title is self-explanatory.These are poems that I wrote for my girlfriend-partner-wife as we grew from life-long, purely platonic but loving friends to lovers and then into a committed union. The poems chart our love and some of our adventures as we travelled around Europe (and beyond) to look for our new, forever home. The first Sonnet was written in the first days of our new relationship, as we were both turning 50 and the last one is about our journey back from France to finalise the move to our new home. The cover photo is of the intertwined trees beside a small church in Crete under which were married.

The Bhagavad-Gita in 18 Sonnets

The Bhagavad-Gita, has been described as “Perhaps the most beautiful work of the literature of the world.” It is, without doubt, one of the best known and most loved sources of India’s timeless wisdom. This new rendering in a sequence of 18 Shakespearean Sonnets is an attempt to capture the spirit and essence of some of the Gita’s key teachings and ideas in a form that is - like the original - both poetic and lyrical.

Today I Will Love You Like the Sun: 31 Affirmations for Lovers.

This is a book designed to help make love stay. It was written primarily with couples in mind, for lovers and partners who are reaching to find or rediscover their intimacy and daring to explore the depths of their love. That is not to say that it is not suitable for other loves, and other relationships. It would work between close friends, siblings, parent and child and, if you are willing to suspend self-consciousness for a few moments each day, I believe it will even work for that most important of all relationships: love of the self. However you use it, whatever your relationship, I have no doubt that if you read these affirmations with love and sincerity, you will feel closer, more loving and more able to express your love when the month is through.
