Juvenile Playwright
The BBC believes in encouraging new authors, whatever their age, | and the latest recruit to the scriptwrit- | ing ranks is Keith Ross, eight-year-old | son of the headmaster of Dalriada | School in Ballymoney, Northern Ireland. His first play was a three-act thriller which lasted two-and-a-half minutes and was produced last August from the "BBC's Belfast studios. His second venture is a tense three-act drama called Napoleon’s' Mistake, a much longer affair than his first effort, for it lasts precisely three minutes and 33 seconds. It has eight characters and many unusual effects, one of them, a teaser for any producer, being "a lick noise" as Napoleon seals an envelope containing an important document.
