Brighton Fringe Postponed
Twilight Theatre was due to be bringing you my latest play in the Brighton Fringe. Cast were in place and in rehearsal. I know it’s absolutely necessary that this has happened but I’m still absolutely gutted! Still, we will be bringing it to you when the Fringe is rescheduled, so all is not lost. In […]
“Talk” at New Venture Theatre
Here is my review – it says it all!
February – already?
Good grief where has the time gone?!? Since last Summer I’ve been involved in all manner of Theatre shenanigans, including winning the Publicity Award from Brighton and Hove Arts Council for the publicity for “Taking Sides”, produced in October by Wick Theatre at the Barn Theatre, Southwick, nr Brighton – which I am seriously proud […]
Playing a nut job
I think my character: Hilda Massie, is possibly the most far removed from my own personality that I’ve ever played.
Twelfth Night in Chichester
Some strong performances, some interesting ideas, some not so. I’ve never felt so sorry for Malvolio in any production as I did in this one. So some positive, some negative: not the best production of Twelfth Night I’ve seen, but not the worst.
Friday Saturday Blur
Trying to schedule everything in this crazy Fringe bubble is tricky – well actually it’s impossible. I couldn’t see everything I want to see. Helen and I went to see “Sisterhood”: a 3 hander, one was the fabulous Jules Craig. Set in Tudor times, 3 very different women through a few hours contemplating the same […]
Meeting An Acting Hero Day
Today I met one of my acting heroes. I’m very grateful to Helen for stopping me motoring through and asking if I wanted a photo – because I hadn’t noticed at all, on a mission, places to go. “Photo?” Yes, yes, Mike McShane, standing talking to some friends. MIKE McSHANE. I’ve been a fan since […]
Waxing Lyrical
Day 3 in this wild fabulous city of Edinburgh in the largest Fringe Festival in the world, and the realisation dawns that even if I had been here for a month, I couldn’t possibly get to see everything I want to see. And even when you think you’re choosing well, it could be that their […]
Edinburgh, Day 2 – the weirdness
The Fringe vibe in this amazing city is vibrant, quirky, wonderful – and above all: weird. Deliciously so. Turning the corner on the way to review a show there were an a cappella group of young attractive men singing and flyering (not busking) – by the time I got my phone to capture it, they […]
Edinburgh Fringe – Day 1
Yes, this is the first post in ages; yes, there has been so much to update and yes, I have to start somewhere. So today I landed in the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, to give its full official title, as part of Pepper Productions’ team Antling. After a successful run in the Brighton Fringe Festival and […]
