He is the weekly bridge columnist for the Financial Times and his stage-play, 'You're Quite Safe with Me' was performed at the Cottesloe Theatre in 1986. Paul was 21 at the time and is still the youngest playwright the National Theatre has ever had. He has also been Britain's bridge champion. Paul splits his time between South Africa and London.
