More minis

I’ve been hard pressed with writing and going to weddings and planting seeds (get a plastic tub, some compost, preferably some bits of broken clay pot for drainage, some seeds – then water and place in sun and it’s amazing! I can now completely understand all those people spending time on the allotment…)

I’ve entered for the Paines Plough wild lunch series, but I expect many will apply so I’m not going to hold my breath.

Still working on the radio plays.

In the mean time, I thought I’d give the Miniaturists a plug as their last show in the Southwark playhouse space is now about 2 weeks away, on Sunday the 20th.

It’s 5 short plays by members of The 50, the writers’ group formed when the Royal Court and BBC Writersroom asked 50 British theatres to nominate a writer of promise.

There’ll be two performances of all five plays, at 5pm and 8pm.

The bill:

HEATHCLIFF NUMBER 3
by Charlotte Allan (nominated by the Theatre on the Lake, Keswick)
directed by Ellen Hughes

SHARK
by Daniel Gritten (Menagerie, Cambridge)
directed by Gemma Kerr

OLD O’MALLEY
by Sam Holcroft (Traverse, Edinburgh)
directed by Rachel Parish

MR BLUE SKY
by Ian Kershaw (Oldham Coliseum)
directed by Gordon Murray

SLEEVE NOTES
by Duncan Macmillan (Theatre 503, London)
directed by Jason Lawson.

The damage: Tickets are all £6 and are available from http://www.southwarkplayhouse.co.uk/
or by calling the Southwark box office line, 08700 601 761.
