No Job for a lass

The crisis of 2020, tested the resilience and the complex challenges, that the performing arts had ever had to face.

This is why Kezia Davis took pen to paper and despite the pandemic, cultivated and found a niche in the market, while the whole country was in lockdown.

More and more people were at home watching TV. Movies were being paralysed by lockdowns but TV broadcasting was favoured and Kezia was developing innovative ideas to create her new material.

After an encounter at a local networking event, Carl Reid, actor and friend invited her to. They were blown away by this whole industry who had got together on that cold December evening to warm the embers as: artists, actors, musicians, authors and business owners socialised, shared their ideas and talents and while they celebrated. The old year faded out, as the New Years delights burst in.

2020 was a special year for Kezia Davis and Carl Reid, as after many years of working and learning from the Corrie masters, both had the pleasure to be part of such a great team.

This year embraced the longest running TV drama on record. Coronation Street celebrated its 60th birthday!

1960, until the present day, whole generations of families sat down together, to watch the box.

Weekly stories with familiar topics and friendly faces leapt on to our screens.

Families facing everyday traumas and situations, could take comfort in the knowing, that they were not on there own. That weekly drama shows challenges of working class people of our time.

Kezia’s creative juices were flowing as she realised during lockdown that new material was in demand, so her concentration was directed into her new novel, which depicts a young girl set in the 1940’s, qualified as a vet, as the landowners and farmers, are very suspicious of this female veterinary surgeon.

‘Amanda had trained to become a vet and found herself having a pretty difficult time trying, to break into a profession considered around, that time, to be ‘No job for a lass’

This modern woman was determined to prove them wrong, she is just as good as her male counterparts, if not better.

A story of how she wins over the cantankerous elderly Jeremiah. Adored by Polly and Annabelle, and finds romance with the handsome soldier who returns home.

She is passionate and becomes involved with the campaigns for animal welfare. It just goes to prove that being a vet is; ‘A job for a lass.’
