Gordon Maple is a successful playwright with a complex problem: wracked with self-doubt and stricken with the dreaded “block” at times, he believes he’ll never work again. Stricken by frustration and mounting angst, he struggles to work through the problems of the everyday and the imaginary with the help of his ever-supportive wife, Mabel.

Of course, it doesn’t help when your suave and urbane neighbour is the considerably more successful playwright Tom Lawrence, friend by day and distraction by night. Lurching between the desperate need for the solitude of the agonised writer, and the drive to surround himself with people from which he can glean inspiration, Gordon Maple is a victim of procrastination, fear of opening nights, the drying up of his creative talents, and the inevitable blank page that awaits him.

With all the distractions of life on and off the page, Gordon Maple needs to be reminded of the most important thing in his life: “Don’t Forget To Write”.
