Trumpet Strudel Mineshafts


TRUMPET STRUDEL MINESHAFTS, my second book of plays, has been published after a long delay. Eighteen short plays, absurdist comedies, rambunctious whimsies, speculative farces.

Featuring castaways, cowboys, duellists, pandas, pilots, twiddlers, cyclists, phantoms, eccentric academics, angry bears, jazz musicians, mystic gorillas, philosophers, hippies, madmen, and many more strange characters. Written for people and puppets, for dreamers and schemers, and intended for the page as well as the stage.

The book includes the first of my plays to ever be performed on stage ('The Modesty Men').

To celebrate the event, I have made the ebook FREE for the next five days. I have also made the ebook of my first book of plays, THE DANGEROUS STRANGENESS, free for five days, as a companionable action.

Here's the link to the older book:

And here's the link to the new book:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GNMH9Y5Q

Those links are to Amazon US but the ebooks are available for free from any Amazon platform.

Both covers are by the artist Selwyn Rodda.
