MUSICALS UNPRODUCED

Having written a number of musicals which have never seen the light of day, I tend to place them in a folder and very rarely steal from them. I like to start fresh with each show. Touch wood, I’ve never been troubled by any sort of writer’s block, at easy so far. The shows below, some of which most certainly deserve an airing, for the moment live quite happily in a (padlocked, lead-lined, waterproof) box in the attic. But are fed daily on packets of crochets and occasionally taken out for walks.  Denis King
