I’m pleased to say the London performance of my short play “Everything’s Normal” was sold-out!  Thanks to everyone to came, and especially to a great cast and to Tessa Hart at Goblin Baby Theatre Company for making the whole thing possible.  Here’s a few photos from the night at the Bread and Roses Theatre:

My play was part of the UNHEARD 2015 Festival, exploring themes of sexual abuse and violence through performance.  Proceeds from ticket sales went to nia, a non-profit dedicated to ending violence against women and children.  More importantly, it was great to meet other artists committed to exploring the many angles and human aspects of this issue through storytelling.  The various plays were

Another short play of mine will be performed on Saturday, March 21 at The Space Arts Centre in London. This one’s just a silly exercise I knocked off during the 28 Plays Later Challenge, which kept me occupied in February.  Yes, me and a bunch of other ambitious/insane writers decided to a write new play every day in February (hence the 28 plays). A creative prompt was emailed out every night, and 36 hours later, we had to send in a new play responding to that.  Needless to say, my play on March 21 is a response to: ‘Write a play that rhymes.’ Actually, that one was pretty fun to write!

Anyway, enough with theatre for now (though I hope to do more with writing drama in the future).  I’m back to re-drafting my novel at the moment…
