From Comedy to serious there are now 7 of my earlier plays available to Theatre Companies. Some are more suitable to small stages and for solo performers, others need box sets and larger casts. If none appeal, then hopefully the next batch, due out later this year might be more accommodating. 
        amazon.co.uk for UK readers for next day delivery.
        amazon.com for others. Also available via CreateSpace.
permissions for performance and settling of Royalty rates please apply to apelhammcmahon42@gmail.com

TWO ACT PLAYS.
1] The Pretzi Stop.   One set, minimum 3 male, three female. Murder in mind: who will live and who
                                    will die, when it is obvious that plots are afoot!
2] Scandalous Women. One set minimum 5 female, 2 male. Backstage crisis in the wardrobe room of
                                    the local Rep. Funny and sad, but needs excellent females in the leads.
3] Our Bessie. One female, two male. Biography of Bessie Braddock the famous Liverpool MP. Bessie                                    died in 1970 and is still fondly remembered.
4] Bottling Up. Large cast needed. 'Within comedy lies much tragedy' This drama needs sensitive 
                                  handling and a good director to maintain the pace and prevent a 
                                  maudlin atmosphere.
MONOLOGUES.
1] Life is an iceberg. Full length for a woman about to retire, re-assessing her life. Funny/sad.
2] Buttered Toast. Full length - a mother re-establishes her links to her family. Funny/sad.
3] Yes Sir, No Sir. Full length - a woman examines the past cruelty of both parents and church. This
                               drama comes with a warning that Irish historical attitudes might offend. Please                                      don't read this if you are homophobic.

Thank you for reading this. If you are interested in performing any of my works, please understand that I am sympathetic towards reduced fees for Little Theatres and bone fide amateur drama groups. Professional groups must abide by National and international Royalty Payments.

This Hitler’s child asks, “Do I sue the Labour Party or the Conservative Party?”
Today who is responsible for the mistakes made in 1944/45 by the Coalition Ministers of Education?  i.e. R. A. Butler, Conservative or James C. Ede, Labour.
After 70 years of abuse heaped upon me because of the dyslexia caused by the abusive treatment of me, on my first day at school, for I was left-handed, I have only now found a way to write with a freedom from fear and publish works that I have kept hidden for years. Mercifully and thanks to the use of Dragon Naturally Speaking, I am able to write this letter without too much fear. Thank you to CreateSpace and Amazon for allowing me to publish free of charge, even though I believe there is always at least one mistake in every volume, but at 75 I have the joy of seeing my work in all its imperfections, printed and bound in colourful binders. But then Einstein was also dyslexic and he said that, “The person who never made a mistake, never tried anything new!” 
Thank you to those who are now reading my work. Thank you for the cheques being paid into my bank account.  Today I can say I forgive the teacher who slapped my 5 year old handswith a wooden pencil case and terrified me with the question, “What are you, Hitler’s child?” Then I was a child escaping as an evacuee from the bombing of my home town, today, I am a writer, no matter how naïve my writings, they are mine. If your child is dyslexic, the British Dyslexic Association [BDA] can help your child achieve the self-respect that comes from putting words down on paper.
