A day for good news, an opportunity I’ve waiting to hear about since 20th November: my 1 hour stage play ‘Paper Human’ has made the shortlist of 6 for Unmasked Theatre’s Brighton Scratch Night.

An extract from it will be performed at the Rialto Theatre in Brighton on 21st January 2021 and (if the Gods are smiling) potentially selected for a full production at the Brighton Fringe 2021.

After I had made the long list last week, I spoke to Luke Ofield of Unmasked who was full of enthusiasm for the script, so it’s something of a relief to finally hear I made the short list.

Delighted to confirm that as of January 2021 I will be an official Writer in Residence at Lake 32 on the Cotswold Water Parks. It’s unpaid, but I get free swimming. Outdoors. In January. Wonder if I get an official wetsuit?!

Really looking forward to it, some very talented people involved, and I already have some good ideas of what I want to write, most likely to be audio. #dialectxwaterland
