Darren’s work as a professional writer
Darren has contributed to several books. Most recently, he has contributed to volumes about jazz, gospel music, Bob Dylan, and British journalist, Malcolm Muggeridge.
Usually he writes shorter pieces which are published in magazines, and on the internet. These are usually only copyright to their publishers for a short time, after which they come to rest here. Twilight Dawning is mainly made up of Darren’s writings about the plays of William Shakespeare (here), Bob Dylan (here), and the New York Yankees (for example, here). Darren writes two columns about the New York Yankees each month during the baseball season.
Reviews of most of the Royal Shakespeare Company’s productions over many years can be found on this site.
Darren is currently at work on two new books which have been commissioned by his publisher.
