One week since one of the best days of my silly, old life. Such gorgeousness with so many lovely, dear friends. I’m a very lucky man.

BONDING has completed its five-star, award winning run at Edinburgh Fringe. Thank you so much to all who joined us. The audience feedback has been so beautiful (especially on Fringe site). Shaken & stirred that we have touched so many whilst also giving them a good ol' giggle. ❤️

⭐⭐⭐⭐ "The narrative gradually reveals its emotional core, & the seemingly light-hearted anecdotes from earlier scenes take on new meaning as the story unfolds" Theatre Weekly on BONDING

⭐⭐⭐⭐1/2 "Blake’s performance is magnetic… His writing is sharp, witty, and layered with emotional intelligence, and his delivery is full of charm and conviction." Mark Aspen Review

B and I bought a new chair.
I sat in it and had a crack at Brummie and then he sat in it and did a flawless Bristolian.
Worked really well.
Would recommend.
10/10.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ "What makes BONDING truly special is its universality. While Bond fans will revel in the references, the show’s themes of connection, loss & self-discovery resonate far beyond the world of espionage" @theatre_weekly

At Assembly George Square till 24 Aug 🎟️ assemblyfestival.com/whats-on/933...

Home alone with this one.
I’m enjoying The Brutalist.
She’s enjoying tiny bits of cheese and tummy rubs.

★★★★1/2 "Written& performed by Blake & deftly directed by Matthew Parker, this production is far more than a tribute to Bond’s shaken-not-stirred bravado. It’s a touching & unexpectedly vulnerable look at family, identity & grief"

Next week BONDING plays in my beloved Manchester! bondingshow.com

Who do I know in/close to the South West London area who might be up for a bit of dog-sitting for our wee girl this month? She's lovely company & enjoys games as much as a sofa snuggle. She just can't be left alone hence needing company. Email at mail@matthewparker.net if you might be able to help ❤️
