Wilkinson/Ford, to discuss their latest show.
They are currently working on a show which will premiere on 10th March, 5pm at the Lion

30th December 2011
With 2011 drawing to a close, I have been reflecting on the last 12 months.
There have been many highlights, including going to the Edinburgh Festival
with Amarillo Arts, the Brighton Fringe Festival with Glasshouse Productions and the
Off Cut Festival at Riverside Studios. It was a great experience to be in the Hen and
Chicken Theatre, the Cockpit Theatre and the Brockley Jack Theatre too.
I have worked with a great number of talented performers and cannot thank them all
enough for their contribution.
Here's to 2012 and all of the exciting opportunities it holds!
Happy New Year!
24th December 2011
'Who You Are' at the Brockley Jack Scratch Evening went really well, with audience
members giving feedback about the short peice. It was a great opportunity to showcase
any performance work (including poetry, comedy and music). The atmosphere was warm and generous within the beautiful theatre that is the Brockley Jack.
Thank you again to Maddy Agnew, Mark Conway, Claire Ford, Nicholas Agnew, Isabel
Caetano da Rocha and the crew at the Brockley Jack.
I am en route to sunny Australia for Christmas with my family so I will take this
opportunity to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
I am particularly excited about 2012 and look forward to working on some great projects
in the New Year.
16th December 2011

Hope to see you there!

Doing some research into family shows.....
I found these gorgeous illustrations done by Mari Katogi ... I really like her style.
Oh and then I found this!
It doesn't list who the artist is but it is very cool.
There are some very talented artists around! 2012 is shaping up to be a very interesting
year! Stay tuned!
12th November 2011
Yesterday marked the deadline for the New Wimbledon Theatre Fresh Ideas applications
for their Spring 2012 season. I lodged an application with a great script called The Prize
written by Richard Fitchett who I met at Off Cut 2010.
It's a great absurdist comedy that we look forward to workshoping for the season in 2012.
5th November 2011
With 2011 threatening to end soon, I am forced to sit down and start putting my head
down and look at projects for next year. With 2 cups of coffee finished and every mundane
distraction completed, I can avoid it no more. Procrastination time is over.
I have started 'Project Jack' and interviews and research are on the move (allbeit at a
snails pace).The next two months will be recon missions to explore spaces and locations.
Plans for a return to the absurdist genre are on the table. I couldn't be happier - a bit
of random fun!
At this stage, 2012 involves working with writers on new works, a few stand alone projects
in film and theatre, and some freelance work. Perhaps I should buy a 2012 diary now!
Happy Bonfire night!

The Edinburgh Fringe! Wow. What an atmosphere! We arrived on Thursday night and
had a tech and preview on Friday. We hit the Royal Mile to do some flying. There were
people everywhere - flying is not an easy job in that environment! Surrounded with a
range of costumes, music, accents, statues and rain, it was apparent how much talent
was located in the proximity.
We opened in Edinburgh with previews on Friday and Saturday. With a couple of technical
set backs, I leave Edinburgh with the knowledge that we have a solid and interesting show.
If you are in Edinburgh, the show is at The Space at Surgeon's Hall.
After catching a few shows and seeing so many familiar faces, London calls and I find
myself on the train again. Thank you Edinburgh - we shall meet again!
Please pop in to see the Yellow Wallpaper if your up this way! Thank you to Lesley Free,
Jon J, John R, Olivia Mace and the crew for the opprtunity to work on such a great show.
25th July 2011
The London preview of Yellow Wallpaper went really well. We were fortunate enough to
have Andrew Taylor from Remote Goat attend to review the show. If you would like to
have a read of his thoughts please click here.
The next stage of the plan is to kick on to the Edinburgh Festival. We have been back
to the drawing board to discuss changes to the script, set and lighting to fine tune areas.
I am looking forward to heading up there - this is my first year up there so I can't wait to
see as many of the shows as possible.
We have also launched a blog spot where you can keep up to date with our show - Yellow Wallpaper Blog.

Last week I was given the opportunity to direct a show in the Brave and the Bold Festival
with Made from Scratch at the Cockpit Theare.
I was given the play Brave Butterflies, written by Dana Gartland and a cast including Ailidh Ogilvie, Peter McKinney and Rob Plumbly. The process was a quick one with only 2
rehearsals but the outcome was fantastic.
The Brave and the Bold Festival celebrated the creative process, bringing together poets, writers, actors and directors to provide an opportunity to support the arts and network.
As a participant, I found it an incredibly rewarding experience.
In the wake of budget cuts, it is nice to know that we have theatre companies who are prepared to work together to provide performance opportunities and audiences.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A surreal farce, with bold characters and bad
behaviour, headed by actor Nicholas Agnew and a group of talented comedy performers.
Nick Agnew, who has scripted this Farce (with additional material from the cast).
Presented, in the main, in glorious Technicolor, From the Devil They Came, follows the traditions of the best of British comedy, drawing inspiration from performers such as Monty Python, the Goons, and the Alternative Comedy Movement.
This play is a visual treat, transporting us through improbable and hilarious situations, as a multitude of characters deliver a story guaranteed to make our tummies ache with
laughter.
Storyline..after accidentally raising one of the Seven Princes of Hell, snotty young Todd,
Sir Lord Leslie Creep, is unable to rid himself of the fiend. In a bid to make the best of the situation, Creep makes a deal; in exchange for his wildest hopes and dreams, he’ll sell a soul..but it won’t be his own! After being elevated to the heights he was born to enjoy,
Creep’s success should be secured. But life is difficult at the top, especially when one is surrounded by a plethora of characters, all crying for the audience’s attention, a plot that is unhelpfully surreal and the devil on your shoulder demanding payment!

'Following the success of The Yellow Wallpaper at Ye Olde Theatre Pub, Walthamstow in February 2010, this play has been developed into a one-woman show where our heroine
takes the audience into her confidence as she gradually loses her grip on reality and loses herself in the walls of her sick room. It is a thought provoking, dramatic and beautiful
piece which we aim to take to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2011. However, to do this we
need your help!
