Next on the list
It was my birthday last week. With all of the goings on for my Fringe Festival show I didn’t have much mental capacity for organising a birthday do, or for contemplating mortality. This week I do! So I’ve been thinking about what it means to be 34. If I think back to when I was younger,…

Sneaky Preview
Dear readers! It’s started! Two shows down, four to go! Reviews from family and friends are that the show is the funniest thing they’ve ever seen and excellent entertainment value. The drummer from my band, Wasted Monday, Sarah, took this fabulous photo of us on stage on Monday. So much silver! So much silliness! So…

The things you learn
We’re less than three weeks away from the opening night of my first ever Melbourne Fringe Festival show: Fleur and Alexandra Save the World. I am approximately equal parts terrified and exhilarated. We still have a lot of props, sets, and costumes to finish, but the script is solid, we have a venue and most of…

Below Babylon
On Friday night I went to see a friend perform in an amateur production of a new play called ‘Below Babylon‘ at the Revolt Art Space in Kensington. I’d met Chris (Grant, who plays Harry) at an acting evening class about this time last year, and while I wanted to show support for his work, I…

To be a poet or worse a novelist!
Now I bet you’re all thinking that I’m going to start talking about my recent writing escapades, but you’d be wrong. In fact I’ve taken this phrase (or at least something very like this phrase) from the play ‘School for Wives’ by Moliere. Last Tuesday I saw the Bell Shakespeare Company’s production of School for…
