' Twice Nightly ' - Film Screenplay 

During 2026 I will be writing a Screenplay about Variety Theatre and my chilldhood backstage world in Dressing Rooms, as my mother and I toured  all over Britain with my father, the Comedian and Entertainer. Stan Stennett MBE

The Film is set in South Wales in 1959 

This was a watershed for Variety in the face of the new entertainment of Television

In 'Twice Nightly' we see performers like my father, Morecambe and Wise, Bruce Forsythe, Lonnie Donegan and Shirley Bassey in the early stages of their careers, alongside many fictional characters representing the 'menagerie' of performing  talent that Variety represented.

Animal Acts. Sword Swallowers. Jugglers. Acrobats. Sand Dancers. Ventriloquists.  Male and Female Singers. 

And, of course, scantily-clad glamorous tableaus

                                                            This feels like my own Welsh 'Cinema Paradiso' so there is a 10 year old co-protagonist                                                                             His Point of View observes all the theatrical eccentricities

This is a very personal subject and one that I feel uniquely qualified to write.

Since I am a  Dramatist and Screenwriter

And most importantly, I was actually THERE.
