So, what with this whole RADA business, and what with Christmas back with the parents and this whole writing-Urban-Magic-3 business, I have neither blogged on anything Londonish for a while. And while I could do a specific entry, I figured that, while I have this massive archive of photos taken before my camera broke, I …

Okay, so as established, that Shakespeare dude knows his stuff. In fact, as a writer, while there’s a lot of praise for him, it is intensely irritating to sit there listening to so many bloody good lines being churned out casually by this guy with the sad thought going round and round your head that …

I suspect I may cause mild offense to some with this post, so let me say right here, right now, the necessary truths. Stephanie Mayer has sold more books, is more read and beloved, than I have imagination to fully grasp. The fact that people read her books like they were sent from Mount Sinai …

Alright, I’ve known about this a long, long time, but haven’t blogged about it for the very good reason that, in all honesty, it will probably never happen. What will probably never happen? (I hear the strangled cry.) To quote a sage… make ‘em laugh, make ‘em cry, make ‘em wait… After all, the reasons …

So it’s that silly time of year again. Another solar cycle elapsed, another Christian-pagan-Western celebration thingy celebrated, ridiculous amounts of food eaten, presents unwrapped hurrah! and more silly TV watched than the mind can comfortably conceive. And maybe some singing. If you’re lucky. Or unlucky. Depending on your point of view. Anyway, despite being a …

… Battlestar Galactica. Now! This entry will hopefully be brief, because I spent many, many months arguing with my editor about the merits or otherwise of the TV-remake of Battlestar Galactica that has graced screens for the last few years. My position being that it was rubbish; his position being that it was the greatest …

There comes a point at the end of every show role when a girl’s just gotta unwind. For the first time in six weeks, massive, regulated cycles of laundry are done (I promise, I do wash my socks more than once every six weeks… but panic is the motive, not systematic hygiene…) floors are scrubbed, …

This entry could be called ‘In Praise of Shakespeare’ but alas, circumstances means it’s about Pericles. I am lighting designer on a (very small) production of Pericles being put on at RADA by the exchange students from the NYU who’ve come over for 8 weeks of how-to-do-Shakespeare, culminating in a performance. I nagged and nagged …
