About the Book

Family tensions run high when Jason and Sarah find themselves living back at home with their father, Richard. Sarah puts too much butter on her bread and doesn't pay rent; Jason is grumpy and is behind on his rent. Richard is controlling and keeps talking about rent. As mild annoyance becomes murderous intent, family skeletons come knocking and Jason and Sarah count the Fifty Ways To Leave (or kill) Your Father, in this black comedy from Tristan Stone, looking at the tensions arising from grown up children having to live with their parents (or parents having to contend with their grown up children still living with them) - in a period of economic instability. Drawing inspiration from Arthur Millar's Death of a Salesman Shakespeare's Hamlet and Philip Larkin's infamous poem, This Be The Verse, Stone sketches a comic, yet realistic, look inside a family unit, with its share of secrets. Whether you empathise with the young adults or the parents, there are clearly faults on both sides and you will find your sympathies switching from one character to another as swiftly as the characters themselves.
About the Author: Born the elder of non-identical twins, Tristan Stone trained as a classical pianist and violinist at the Royal College of Music, where he was a Junior Exhibitioner for seven years. He then read Theology and Religious Studies at Cambridge University, where he begun to develop an idea of Imaginal Theology -that in order to speak meaningfully of what is otherwise beyond our epistemology, we must use our imaginal faculty. This will be the focus of his forthcoming doctoral research on philosophical/theological method. Upon graduation, Tristan trained as a Secondary School teacher, teaching English, Music and RS in schools and colleges around Kent. He is delighted to be currently teaching Philosophy, Theology and Ethics at Harris Westminster Sixth Form, London (which opened in September 2014). Over the past decade, Tristan has written and produced several plays and published Study Guides for topics in Philosophy of Religion. When he is not writing, teaching or working on independent films, Tristan occasionally sleeps, and enjoys living in Surrey with his wife and their imaginary pets.
