Happy Pride Month!

Hello gorgeous sapiens! It’s Pride Month which means thirty days of colour all around the world. Even now, I love seeing the rainbow flag – I guess that’s why I painted one on our living room wall as a landscape scene! If you haven’t seen it, I’ll attach a picture for you. I’ve been working incredibly hard on my play these past few months. Everything stopped while we were renovating the house and it was …

Distractions

It’s strange how the house swallowed up all of my brain power. I had a few days a week at the flat when I could rest and theoretically write, but I couldn’t. Every time I tried, it was the house I was thinking about and what I was writing was total rubbish. This week has been the first time in three months I can actually sit here and write without (m)any distractions. For the past …

Theatre Review: Blithe Spirit, London

Blithe Spirit Gielgud Theatre, London Until 7 June 2014 ★★★★★ Angela Lansbury is currently starring in Noel Coward’s Blithe Spirit at the Gielgud Theatre in London. I saw the show last night and was blown away not only by the stellar cast but that a play written more than eighty years ago still resonates with today’s audience. The comedy of this piece is timeless and the story is so well crafted that by the interval, you are left not knowing how the piece …
