"A really beautiful piece of work".
Andy Garland (BBC Local Radio Producer)

THANKS MUM (AND THOMAS HARDY) (2022) is a short, poignant monologue that was originally performed at SALISBURY MUSEUM on 1 October 2022 as part of the 2022 Salisbury Fringe and WESSEX MUSEUMS' fabulous "Hardy's Wessex Exhibition". It was most recently performed on BBC Radio Solent and several other BBC local radio stations on 27 & 29 March 2025 and is next due to be performed on Thornbury Radio on 1 July 2025.

​"Sam's mother died recently. Sorting through her effects brings back memories of school and life-changing support that helped Sam to conquer dyslexia."

Incorporated into THANKS MUM (AND THOMAS HARDY) is an amusing poem containing the titles of all Hardy's novels - learn it off by heart and you'll never forget them!

THANKS MUM (AND THOMAS HARDY) was published by LAZY BEE SCRIPTS on 1 March 2023 and can be read here.
