It Sets A Hierarchy
Mum is resting in a hospice and we’ve taken the opportunity whilst she’s here to reminisce with her, I asked “what was your favourite holiday?”She replied “Oh not right now”, she shut down the conversation. She was knackered.After she said that, I thought, what does it matter? Her favourite? Anyone’s ‘favourite’.To signify that one of our childhood holidays would be her favourite almost negates…

Radical Landscapes. Walthamstow's William Morris Gallery
Walthamstow’s William Morris Gallery, presents the Radical Landscapes exhibition which showcases artist’s relationships to the landscapes that surround them. Above: Chris Killip’s photoraphs on Lynemouth beach It aims to present how landscape art can ‘enable self-expression yet also impose social constructs’. The latter is highlighted in BBC’s John Berger Ways of Seeing (1972) that theorises…

Flail to Tale
I’ve been struggling on how to best relaunch the blog – I, with many of my past projects – seem to run at it at full speed, and then have absolutely no clue what I’m doing when I get there. With the London School of Journalism course going on and the rebooting of the Tale to Tale blog, I’ve struggled to land my feet on what I want this to be. Eventually I’ll be adding interviews, travel…

Looking back - 'Footprints: The People Podcast'
Looking back on my lockdown project, a podcast I made when times were tough.
‘Footprints: The People Podcast’ My show Footprints was my lockdown-podcast, it ran for three seasons during 2021-2022. Each episode had a new guest, ranging in age, ethnicity and interests. My goal was to collect and interview a dynamic range of passions, however specific. ‘Doctor Who’, ‘Laughter’, ‘Spiritual Activism’, ‘African Creatives in London’, ‘Authenticity’ and yes even. ‘Ru…

Where Has Tradition Gone
I’m not missing the bygone days of yore, some tradition has rightfully faded away into history. But there is a significant want for community and tradition, especially in today’s Times. Living the UK, annual traditions seem to only stay within families, aside from commercial or foreign festivities. The closest thing we have to maintaining a long standing tradition is either the monarchy (which…

Dawn (a work in progress)
I’ve started many projects in the past – some have reached the point of conclusion, others have failed. But what I have learnt in the process of all of them, is that there is always something to take away.I think back to when I attempted a walk from London to Land’s End, in which I lasted only 4 days in. The route was sound, as were my intentions, however, I had overpacked my bag, bought narrow…

London Is Waking
London is waking back up, Trembling at the joints, This wounded beast is stirring. Long sighs and deep cries Are all that are uttered, As she lies vulnerable. The maggots nested in her heel, Their long sleep disrupted by Pumping organs and a slow ticking. I look into her eye, It’s alert with a ruby stare, With her gaze focused solely on the horizon

1.1. Kristin - Female Voices (Over 35)
1.1. Kristin – Female Voices (Over 35)
So for the first release of Footprints The People Podcast I spoke to a great friend of mine Kristin, and her passion about hearing more female voices in the arts, over the age of 35. What interested me about this conversation was just how many parts of the industry is effected by this – plays in theatres, castings for women suddenly playing mothers and for authors, poets, all of it! This isn’t…

Footprints: The People Podcast (Trailer)
So, it all begins, this little passion project of mine which honestly doesn’t feel like work AT ALL, has finally been developed and I’m now ready to share it with the world. I’ll admit, accessing Buzzsprout made it all a little real, I didn’t know if I wanted to push ahead with this project, but actually, I think it was the right thing to do. Things always get a little scary when they enter…

There Is No Such Thing As Perfection
I think I want to feel something,To live in sudden dreadTo wake and fear that I’d messed up,To own a clouded head. Tonight I chose to be recklessTo smash the clock in two,I set to change my own rhythm,To be alive for you. I’d hate to be this model,A cast of something planned –I’m better off this moving husk,That crawls across the land. I am not here to fix you,To be your earthly guide.I’m…

Ranking The Pieces #2
#28PlaysLater was a Herculian Effort, but mega proud with what I made this time. 28 brand new spanking plays - and I've ranked them all from best to worst. Have a gander!
So another year done, and another 28 new plays typed up. It was a tough one this year, but a necessary challenge and a bit of escapism. With what’s going on outside, I think we all needed some sort of distraction from it all, whether it be a new job, a challenge, or even a new hobby – something to distract, something to keep us going. So February’s challenge is done – a blast from the past, and…

'โอกาส (Chance)' - Challenge 3.28
‘โอกาส (Chance)’ – Challenge 3.28
That’s it. I’m done. It’s over. That is 28 brand new spanking plays and technically play foundations all made. It doesn’t feel good yet, I can’t relax yet. There’s a few pieces which I rushed or didn’t finish. This being one of them. Whilst writing ‘โอกาส (Chance)’ (โอกาส is pronounced as Xokās̄ – or ooh-kaa.) I realised this was slowly becoming a full length play. I had created a main…

'Elephant In The Room' - Challenge 3.27
‘Elephant In The Room’ – Challenge 3.27
So, for our penultimate brief we had to make a Side B to one of our plays. I chose ‘The Plain’ that has 4 characters, and wanted to make the most of all the actors. So I slapped them into a dinner party and voila! Not much more to say to be honest. Both pieces have legs. Bit more development and I’d have two solid one Act plays to put on for an hour somewhere! And in rep! Voila: 27. Elephant In…

'Bojo and The Magic Money Seed' - Challenge 3.26
‘Bojo and The Magic Money Seed’ – Challenge 3.26
This is not my best work, and I’m not James Graham, so I haven’t got the characters down to a ‘T’. But, I’ve staged a farce in Westminister, there’s a Magic Money Tree Seed which has been found, in a briefcase, and the Tories and Labour members fight over possession. With a lot more work this is one of those stupid pieces you could see at Edinburgh, but in the meantime, it’s 3 roughly made scenes…
