Two Short Dramas : Blazing Hills and the Poetic Life of Ralph Cannon

Against a background of blazing Lancashire Moorland Yaneck embarks on a hot relationship with charismatic performer Heather Firebrand, in his isolated Shooting Lodge. This secret 'House in the Clouds' has been the intimate locale for himself and his wife Yolanda only and his new relationship with Heather is exposed by the Paparazzi who covertly follow them. Yaneck desperately tries to keep the existence of his wife from Heather as he is willing to go down the path of Polygamy and combat Blackmail to satisfy his overriding infatuation for her. Yolanda finds unexpected comfort with their old friend, Glaswegian Comedian Mac the MacKinty. A startling discovery in Edinburgh, at first alarming, proves to be greatly beneficial to Yaneck as he struggles with his conscience. For Ralph Cannon there is a surprise at the end of his Poetic reverie, as he drives out of New York and out of a relationship. Should he return to the reassuringly familiar, or continue in search of fresh experiences and excitement? Written entirely in verse, this Dramatic collection of Poems explores the mystery and simplicity of love and relationships, sometimes with humour. I hope that these two contrasting short Dramas are absorbing and entertaining. Lee J Morrison.
