“All over after another standing ovation at The Dig For Victory Festival. What an incredible journey One Evacuee has been. Organisers loved it. Has audience of about 150 and lots of other onlookers. People said we should be touring all the 'victory' festivals. Lots of amazing compliments.”

Very excited to have started work on a new commission today. One idea is that it could be performed here as a promenade play. You know how I love them!

5 years ago today our country went into the first lockdown. It inspired my play PandemeXplosion... and it has now been teased ready for it's official premiere by Chase Terrace Academy in Lichfield this July.

Amusing today. In a school where they’d had to do costume design for ILYM & one lad had done a very elaborate one complete with assisted walking stick because I must be so old… and a flat cap! 😂. They wanted to differentiate me from Dans friends & relatives by age!

Wonderful to see the powerful work that Voices of the Holocaust continue to do with our play KINDNESS. Great to see it in a school setting for the first time.
