When the vipers of self-doubt begin to bite, when we just don’t think we’ll ever get a break — when hopes and dreams keep slipping away — the secret is to keep going. Just “Don’t give up.” A re-affirming and inspirational conversation on how to persevere and finally come out on top!
One of the world’s leading experts in 10-minute plays and the current Artistic Director of Short+Sweet Theatre, Alex has had no less than fifty 10-minute plays produced across the globe in over 250 productions including Short+Sweet 2002–2009 and Shorter+Sweeter (The Best of Short+Sweet) 2004, 2006, and 2008.
Internationally Alex has had short plays produced in the UK, Pakistan, India, Canada, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Japan, South Africa, Taiwan and 35 different states of the USA. He has had three short plays published in the USA and has recently even had a play translated in to Persian and published in Iran.
His longer plays have been performed at the Sydney Festival and he has twice received script development funding from the AFC. He has recently also had four short screenplays filmed.
Alex’s Web site (see below) is currently ranked the No. 1 10-minute play site in the world.
