Alan Ayckbourn: Contributions

In addition to his own extensive body of work, Alan Ayckbourn has also contributed to other works - from providing short plays to song lyrics. This page contains details about his contribution to Pen To Paper.

Pen To Paper

Pen To Paper is an interesting piece of Ayckbourn ephemera. Pen To Paper was a radio series that was an anthology of new works and music with different themes for each programme.

Alan and his musical collaborator Paul Todd were asked to contribute towards an episode looking at travel and holidays. Alan recalls he and Paul Todd wrote two songs for programme, one of which was concerned with train travel.

No other details about the programme or the songs are known and it is believed neither of the songs featured again in any other work by Alan and Paul Todd.
