Miniaturist, Mike’s Wishes or The Broken Necklace
So, it’s all speed ahead with my show for the Miniaturists.
I’ve had a lot of fun doing it and have a great team with Hannah Eidinow (a veteran mini director, who is directing an unprecedented two of the minis this time (!)
The actors, Hywel John and Celia Adams, seem to have a good spark between them.
The play is called MIKE’S WISHES although I was trying for a last minute change to THE BROKEN NECKLACE. Reader, which do you prefer?
I like to think of it as a modern day fairy tale.
If you’ve not come to a mini evening, perhaps you should check it out.
5pm or 8pm this Sunday (25 March) at the Arcola theatre

I’m looking forward to it. Though as for the titles I’m not sure. Mike’s Wishes reminds me both of my dad (whose name unsurprisingly is mike) and those terrible Christmas shows that Noel Edmunds used to do where in exchange for their wishes coming true, unsuspecting working class people had to spend a day with Noel at his smug, knitted-sweater-wearing worst. The Broken Neclace on the other hand sounds like a Miss Marple Mystery. So which is more appropriate to your show I have no idea…
I guess when you see it, you can tell me which you thought would be better! For film a version, I think I might even call it Wishmaker… B
Really enjoyed it. Well done to you and the team.
Thanks! Glad you liked it.
