Camden Community Radio Interview
Dear Folks
Long time, no hear you think!
The new news is I have had the pleasure of working with some wonderful professional actors at Guild House, the actors’ union head office in a workshop I led on April 18th.
The text was my screenplay, The Genius and the Rebel, that sheds light on history’s lost story and the homophobic, mainly white England of 1910. The…

It was so wonderful to snuggle into the beginning of Signals, the magazine of The Arthur Ransome Society today – and great to hear about the new Chair!
It was lovely to be reminded about these words of wisdom in Arthur Ransome’s Swallows and Amazons by the President.
“I like cooking.” (mate Susan)
“If you want to go on liking it, take my advice and get someone else to do the washing up!”
(My sentiments exactly!)
Above is a superb pie, the recipe of which was obtained from TARS magazine! It is the only recipe for home made pastry which works for me! Pastry is the maverick of the amateur cook!
Over Christmas I have also been answering Oscar Wilde film quiz questions for members of The Oscar Wilde Society and watching Oscar Wilde films.
Oscar Wilde with Robert Morley as Wilde and The Trials of Oscar Wilde with Peter Finch in the lead role are worth looking up on YouTube.
In the first film, Ralph Richardson steals the acting honours as Edward Carson – a truly great actor!
Look up your classics folks! Movies are great to chill to over Christmas!

How wonderful to receive the OW Society publication Intentions — and a privilege to see my contribution to this eminent publication!
It was also exciting to see in a bookshop this week a copy of Oscariana, the book Wilde’s wife compiled with a collection of her husband’s aphorisms.
London is wonderful!
At last I have had articles published in both TARS and OW Society publications!
Truly though, it is important never to lose our connection to the great classics in literature!
I have also engaged in activities to bring the incredible, amazing, lost story of these two authors and the links A R unwittingly unlocked between Wilde and Douglas to a wider platform.
These authors, thought poles apart, actually had much more in common than people think!
O W Society member Mr John Cooper has highlighted that O W shared A R’s love of life on the ocean wave, was at the very least a competent sailor and certainly an enthusiastic one!
A R also unwittingly unlocked the key to the enigmatic relationship between Oscar Wilde and Douglas in his own masterpiece lost to society in 2018.
Both men were both part of Cool Britannia!

“The only way to get rid of temptation is to yield to it!”
This is the famous Wilde quote. I have approached Classic Spring, currently producing The Importance of Being Earnest at The Vaudeville Theatre London.
Ah, the cucumber sandwiches!
There will also be an Oscar Wilde walk with fellow members of The Oscar Wilde Society at the end of the month.
More later.

These are beauty spots of Lancashire.
Meanwhile, the weather is dull and windy in Morecambe. Let’s hope for a mellow September and hope we can pass it off as June!

I am currently searching for a young actor aged 17-18 to play the part of a swain for a film of Oscar Wilde’s poem above.
The film will be a voice-over with Miss G and her swain telling the story of young lovers through movement.
I accidentally met members of Morecambe Ramblers yesterday and left details to see if anyone can make suggestions for location shoots around Silverdale, one of Lancashire’s beauty spots and a tourist and walkers’ hotspot.
The shooting will be the end of August and the first few days in September now.
The situation now is that Poet is awaiting news from a youth group.
Thanks to photographers from Pexels for some of the shots for my slideshow.
Hope you enjoy it!

TARS President with a customer.
It was wonderful to meet TARS members and some of the team who worked on the 1974 film of Swallows and Amazons on Saturday, 28th July at The Alhambra Cinema Keswick.
The Arthur Ransome Society President Sophie Neville gave a charming talk before the film, which added a little extra magic to the event.
She played the part of tomboy Titty Walker, displaying a lovely combination of vulnerability, exuberance and imagination that were entirely natural.
All the cast were magnificent.
It was especially lovely to see the amazing Zannah Hamilton when she was in the first blush of youth as a resilient and capable Susan Walker.
The late Claude Whatham who directed the movie showed exceptional mastery in the way he drew out comedy from this gentle period piece based on Arthur Ransome’s most famous novel.
His work was thoroughly complimented by orchestral music which matched the mood and followed every beat of a superb screenplay.
Afterwards the President of the Society signed her books for Arthur Ransome fans who attended the screening. These included delighted children who had thoroughly enjoyed themselves on an uncompromisingly rainy afternoon!
One of her books is The Secrets of Filming Swallows and Amazons. The Kindle version is extremely engaging with its video trailer of this work containing behind the scenes footage that happened as the film was in production.
