Carrot Nappers began Keith Large’s journey into  playwriting. Originally published in First Edition as a short story, the play
headlined the final night of 2009 Naked Stage season at The ADC Theatre in  Cambridge in front of a sell out audience. This was followed by a trilogy of
short plays at the 2010 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, which included Jeff Stewart  (Reg Hollis from ITV’s The Bill) appearing in Keith’s headline play ‘Prima Donna
Island’ and achieving further critical acclaim.

Prima Donna Island-
‘With Stewart on good form and showing no signs of his infamous police persona,
it’s an arresting performance’- Edinburgh Evening News 20th August 2010.
 
Keith has still found time to write short stories.  His humorous fantasy ‘The Tisbech Terror’ won first prize in Freelance Market
News’s 2010 short story competition, along with a piece of reverse creativity,  adapting his stage play ‘Whine Fever’ into a short story to win the 2011
PCS/Words national competition.

His  advance into drama continues to go from strength to strength. The educational  play ‘Racing Green’ is being performed by several schools across the UK and his
anthem radio play ‘Talkers and Doers’ features BAFTA award winning actor David  ‘Dai’ Bradley (Billy Casper in Kes) in the lead role.
