We had a family friend who knew Roald Dahl - one of my favourite authors - and this friend offered to show Dahl my story. It turned out to be quite a long story, really a short novel, and I rewrote it the next summer. I started out writing sci-fi epics (my Star Wars phase) then went on to swords and sorcery tales (my Dungeons and Dragons phase) and then, during the summer holiday when I was fourteen, started on a humorous story about a boy addicted to video games (written, of course, during my video game phase). ![]() and on the opposite coast, in Halifax, Nova Scotia.At around twelve I decided I wanted to be a writer (this came after deciding I wanted to be a scientist, and then an architect).

One can imagine a doctor saying something very similar to Williams and his elder sister Rose. “I said, ‘Why, that’s absurd, my brother and I are terrified of our shadows.’ And he said, ‘Yes, I know that, and that’s why I admire your courage so much.’.” Created, like all Williams’s plays, from the marrow of his life, it’s a troublingly strange two-hander about two siblings acting out a play in an abandoned theatre, and is revived this month at Hampstead, more than 50 years after it first premiered there. ![]() ‘A doctor once told me that you and I were the bravest people he knew,” says Clare to her brother Felice in Tennessee Williams’s rarely performed 1967 drama The Two Character Play. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() However, other researchers who have tried to verify his citations find nothing in these sources to back Haining's claims. In two controversial books, Haining argued that Sweeney Todd was a real historical figure who committed his crimes around 1800, was tried in December 1801, and was hanged in January 1802. In the Seventies he wrote three novels, including The Hero (1973), which was optioned for filming. He edited a large number of anthologies, predominantly of horror and fantasy short stories, wrote non-fiction books on a variety of topics from the Channel Tunnel to Sweeney Todd and also used the pen names "Ric Alexander" and "Richard Peyton" on a number of crime story anthologies. Haining achieved the position of Editorial Director before becoming a full time writer in the early Seventies. Born in Enfield, Middlesex, he began his career as a reporter in Essex and then moved to London where he worked on a trade magazine before joining the publishing house of New English Library. Peter Alexander Haining (Ap– November 19, 2007) was a British journalist, author and anthologist who lived and worked in Suffolk. ![]() |
