    The Damon Runyon Theatre Hour.  Damon Runyon is acknowledged as one of the great writers to come out of twentieth century America.  Runyon's short stories are almost always told in the first person by a narrator who is never named, and whose role is unclear; he knows many gangsters and has no job that can be gleaned from his musings, nor does he admit to any criminal involvement; He’s a bystander, an observer, an average street-corner Joe.  Runyon described himself as "being known to one and all as a guy who is just around".  That line seems to say a lot about Runyon and his life.  It was like you were with him on some street corner hustle or some shady dive and he was filling you in on all the angles, all the gossip, all of life. He was who so many people wanted to be with……or so many people wanted to be.  Of course, the cliché about newspapermen and writers is that they are heavy drinkers, chain-smokers, gamblers and obsessively chase women with a sideline in the gathering of stories and facts and actually getting something written just before the deadline hits. That seems like Damon Runyon and his life summed up in one sentence.  His stories became legendary ways of looking that bit differently at America, of soaking up the atmosphere of a glamorous and rip-roaring age and distilling it into a black and white type or, in our case, The Damon Runyon Theatre Hour.

    A Dangerous Prophet for Dangerous Times! 
    (Author's Narration) 
    Israel. 9th-century BC. Jezebel has killed the true prophets of the Lord, and Elijah must flee her wrath. 
    But he is not alone. Embraced by a shapeshifting goddess, counseled by a great angel, he is empowered to call down fire from Heaven! 
    In the spirit of Dante, Shakespeare, and Homer, this epic poem relives the stunning miracles of the great prophet as described in the Old Testament—fed by ravens, raising the dead, commanding the rain, calling down fire from Heaven, outrunning horses, ascending to Heaven. 
    But along with all this, the author weaves a rich thread of mythological influences: shapeshifting goddesses, shamanic journeys, dueling dragons, Queen Jezebel's seductions, and dissension in the ranks of the royal bodyguard. 
    Saucy yet sacred, this timeless tale takes wing in the poet's pen, the poet's voice! 
    "Fun, interesting, and entertaining, with elements of a heroic quest, pure fantasy, and sexy romance.” 
    Karen Siddall 
    "The telling was riveting, and you don’t need to know the story ahead of time to be moved by it.” 
    Kit Donner 
    “LeRoy has a great talent for writing an epic poem, and his hypnotic voice lends grandly to the narration of the story.” 
    Amy’s Bookshelf Reviews, Top 10 Books of 2018 
    "An epic tale, Biblically based, but with considerable writer’s freedom that makes the book wholly entertaining."

    Jacq and Kas's boutique restaurant has gone bust, and telling their oldest friends Adaego and her rich husband Tobin that his investment is toast is only the start of the evening.
    Cash, class, identity and infidelity are all on the menu. As the last of the expensive wine flows, a dangerous drinking game reveals long-hidden truths and provokes an unspeakable dare.
    Never Have I Ever is an explosive, savagely funny play which brilliantly skewers the contradictions of contemporary society, and the shifting sands of power and sexual politics. It premiered at the Minerva Theatre, Chichester, in 2023, directed by Emma Butler and starring Alex Roach, Amit Shah, Greg Wise and Susan Wokoma.
    Deborah Frances-White is a comedian, screenwriter and host of the global hit podcast The Guilty Feminist. This is her first play.
    '[Deborah Frances-White's] mixture of wit, fallibility and inclusivity is immensely appealing' Sunday Times on The Guilty Feminist
    'Hilarious, irreverent, eternally surprising, classy as hell, genius' Phoebe Waller-Bridge
    'Frances-White has scored a bullseye… a rollicking new comedy that turns into a blistering interrogation of friendship, relationships, wealth and identity politics… savagely funny… The humour zings from the start... Deliciously scabrous lines abound… a West End transfer should surely beckon' - iNews
    'A broad comedy for our fractious times… a blessedly rare example of a play that doesn't simply regurgitate conventional wisdoms about race, gender and class. Frances-White dares to think forbidden thoughts' - The Times
    'Entertaining fare with some zinging lines… eminently watchable… Frances-White's fans will lap this up' - Guardian
