Recent work includes a screenplay 'Christie Mallory's Own Double Entry', adapted from the novel by BS Johnson. Klappentext Oliver Walzer is shy, bookish, Jewish. He doesn't know how to talk to girls. But he can slice, flick and spin a ping pong ball better than any teenager in Manchester. Oliver channels his frustrated adolescent lust into the game he loves. That is until the heartbreaking Lorna Peachley and the prospect of a place at Cambridge take his eye off the ball. Zusammenfassung Simon Bent's stage adaptation of Man Booker Prize winner Howard Jacobson's hilarious homage to Manchester
