Candles and Pizzas

Haworth Hodgkinson

The original idea for Candles and Pizzas came in a tent in the centre of Huddersfield, though it was written as a monologue for a writers' party in Aberdeen, and the setting is a loosely disguised Dundee.

After repeated failures to get this piece published as a short story, the writer recast it as a play for one actor and one musician. In this format, it was performed for the first time by Pauline de Koning and Haworth Hodgkinson at Woodend Barn, Banchory, in May 2008. This performance formed part of a Wordfringe Festival Players production for Wordfringe 2008.
