Books by Jeremy Brock

In this collection of exquisite, mischievously dark short stories, Jeremy Brock pushes deep into the human psyche and life's strange twists. We encounter a brother and sister whose lives are upended when they are destined to meet again - but fail to do so; a girl who discovers her young sister talking to a stranger under the kitchen table in the darkest hours; and a gold prospector who chases the twists and turns of rivers, roads and acquaintances, for the dreams and riches of precious stones. Dark Chocolates is the first collection in a forthcoming series from a promising new voice in storytelling.

Adapted from the novel by Charles Dickens, Jeremy Brock's splendidly theatrical stage version of Oliver Twist combines all the richness of Dickens's story - the sinister antics of Fagin, the comic pomposity of Mr Bumble the Beadle, and the horror of Nancy's murder at the hands of Sykes. Originally devised for eleven actors playing multiple roles, the play is easy to stage, makes good use of sound effects for atmosphere and makes more than a nod to the contemporary world.Large flexible cast
