Some pictures from rehearsals for The Freelance Magdalene, my contribution to Bristol Old Vic’s Short Fuses programme last month…
Short Fuses was performed in the round (with yours truly surrounded ON ALL SIDES by an audience hungry for TASTY STORY and FINE THEATRE.) I haven’t done a show in that configuration for a while, and never […]
I’ve loved Curtis Eller since I heard his lament for old-school Hollywood, “Buster Keaton,” at the sadly missed Seymour’s Family Club, way back in the day. So it’s tip-top-notch to be supporting the mustachioed one come mid-March. I might even try to dredge up a new song of my own. An album by The Heath […]
Hey hey. Above, a photo from the production of and the line goes dead at Battersea Arts Centre. Apologies if you were in the audience either night, and were unlucky enough to get ‘rained’ on. The NY-based artist Ann Liv Young was taking a post-show shower upstairs, and… what can I say? — apparently the […]
This is the first image from The Dead Phone, a stageplay I’m writing for the Inbetween Time Festival 2010.
It’s been a scattershot week. Good and productive for it. But to give you a picture, woven in and around the day job, I’ve had -
Thursday: Writing the first drafts of The Dead Phone. It’s a series […]
I spent most of last Thursday in a state of giddy bliss, playing a gorgeous Broadwood grand piano at the Angel Tech studios. The ’studio’ is actually a soundproofed room in the basement of Doug’s house, a grotto of techy toys and blinking lights; the grand piano, meanwhile, is one he inherited from a Great […]

And below, the full unexpurgated version of the original Q&A, unedited due to reasons of space.
How many DVDs have you got? And how do you organise them?
This question is blatantly an aide […]
How to fake an astronomical image with 1) a profile spotlight and 2) my big bald heed:
Little. Furry. Planet.
Yeah, so, Astronaut at Battersea Arts Centre? It all went very well, thanks for asking. The BAC is an immensely pleasant place to perform in, lovely people, great vibe… even with the rather spooky remnants of Punchdrunk’s […]
My theatre piece Astronaut, (all 16 minutes 48 seconds of it) is on at BAC, Lavender Hill, London this week. It’s showing at 9pm on Thurs 8th and Fri 9th of May. The same dates see BAC’s BURST festival play host to my old muckers Bodies In Flight and an intriguing-sounding piece by choreographer Doris […]
Last weekend I performed at “I Am Still Your Worst Nightmare”, a platform of experimental theatre, live art and other bouncy fun stuff hosted by Arnolfini and Theatre Bristol. I did a quiet sketch called Janet Gaynor. It was 13 minutes and 44 seconds long.
Astronaut, the work I presented at the same event last year, […]
