As a member of Masque Youth Theatre, I was always aware of there being an adult theatre company attached to it, but from my perspective, it was ancillary to what we were up to. Masque Theatre came crashing in when I got the role of Romeo in their summer show of Romeo and Juliet whenContinue reading “Masque Theatre”

Masque Youth Theatre
I have been associated with Masque Theatre in Northampton for around a quarter of a century. First starting when I was thirteen, I joined Masque Youth Theatre (surprisingly the youth theatre attached to Masque Theatre) because the leader of the group, Ursula Wright, came to my middle school to lead some after school drama classes.Continue reading “Masque Youth Theatre”
Abortion – Long Read
Before I get into this subject, let me make something very clear. I do not have the right to question what someone else does with their own body. I fully support a person’s right to choose what happens to them and when, for whatever reason they choose. Because that is what I expect for myself.Continue reading “Abortion – Long Read”
Have a Word – Long Read
There’s a newspaper and its Sunday stablemate which at the moment, is so horrifically fucked I will not name it, but it will become apparent what shit rag I’m talking about very quickly. They love to use the term woke as a pejorative. And it’s gotten so bad they just essentially attach the word toContinue reading “Have a Word – Long Read”
All Filler, No Killer
If you remember watching by-gone American tv shows, especially the comedies, you’ll know what a ‘clips show’ is. It’s where they’ve spent too much of the budget and so they need to save money and therefore some hijinks are engineered for all of the characters to look back on previous goings on and they playContinue reading “All Filler, No Killer”
My Mate Charles – Long Read
I’m normally a little vague when it comes to naming people in the blog unless I’ve specifically asked them if I can, but this week I haven’t asked, but I’m going to wang on about my mate Charles anyway. I saw Charlie last week for the first time in a long time. We haven’t seenContinue reading “My Mate Charles – Long Read”
When Does it End? – Part 2
Hiya, check out Part 1 of When Does it End? here: What I wrote last week wasn’t my best and it wasn’t really original, apologies. But this shite is everywhere, like when you’re upchucking into the sink as you sit on the toilet with diarrhoea. It’s constant, it’s rancid, you just want it to end.Continue reading “When Does it End? – Part 2”
When Does it End? – Part 1
I’m writing this on the day the infamous Sue Gray report is published and all the politicos I follow on Twitter are slavering and poring over all the details and what has been left out. If you read me blog on the regular, you know I have a, ahem, passing interest in politics and IContinue reading “When Does it End? – Part 1”
Worcester for a Festival – Long Read
I went to Worcester last weekend and spent a couple of nights away in an Airbnb. It was a small apartment which in a past life would have been the old fashioned utility room or possibly even a storage area on the side of a big fancy house. Also in the grounds was a galleryContinue reading “Worcester for a Festival – Long Read”
No.
What I’m about to write has been discussed by a lot by other folks cleverer than I. There’s a book on it, that I’ve not read and on doing some research on the interwebs, the quotation has been attributed to many people. But I think it’s something that I’m pretty good at saying and meaningContinue reading “No.”
