A Fistful Of Snow

Not far from the North Pole a lonely author keeps vigil on a vault full of frozen seeds whilst trying to take advantage of the solitude to break the 'one-hit-wonder' record of his debut novel.

However, he takes the time to talk to the stuffed (well, blown up) Moose head on the wall, an imaginary bear outside and a budgie who helpfully reads over his latest ideas for the next book and invariably dismisses them. "No one would pay good money to see that," he tells the desperate author.

Meanwhile the barriers of this distressed man's mind dissolve as he mixes reality and fantasy, adding a few nice songs into the mix. Sadly the desperately needed budgie's honesty obviously wasn't on hand when the idea for this performance arrived, and when transparent premise of the piece comes to a conclusion, you might wish the Moose (or reindeer) had been heading up the writing team instead.
