w.b. yeats died on this day in 1939. if, instead of dying, he had begun to age again but in reverse, he would have reached his birth - i.e. become 0 years old - in 2012. Assuming that he then began ageing in the normal direction again, he would currently be 14 years old and preparing for his gcses

And yet the short-sighted impresarios of the West End still refuse to show any interest in my proposals for 3-2-1: The Musical
The Traitors is coming to the stage, with a theatre production in London in 2027.

It will be written by John Finnemore (Cabin Pressure) and directed by Robert Hastie (Operation Mincemeat.)
