Me ‘n’ my friend Caroline went to see this on the occasion of its world premiere. I was hoping to post a bit about it before now but the good news is that it’s still on until 14 May so you’ve still got time to rush along there and buy one of the ridiculously cheap tickets.
I can’t remember the last time I saw such a powerful new piece of theatre. It was so good that I forgive them the truly dreadful seating at Southwark Playhouse.
It’s a taut and imaginative look at the relationship of a young man and woman who dream and love and fall out with great intensity. No-one is ordinary, says this play: each of us is unique in ways that no-one else can ever truly guess.
Be warned – the programme is in the script, so if you don’t buy one you miss out on all the details of who did what with whom and why. There are signed copies available.
Check the play and venue out before you go here: http://www.tendernapalm.co.uk/
Enjoy!

Hi there,
I hope you find something to interest you here.
In December 2017 I published my fourth book – ‘Wonders will never cease’. It’s a satirical campus novel set in the fictional Ariel University in 1985. If you enjoyed Tom Sharpe’s Porterhouse novels, Willy Russell’s ‘Educating Rita’, David Lodge’s campus novels or Malcolm Bradbury’s ‘The History Man’ back in the day, you may enjoy revisiting the ivory towers of 1980s’ academe thirty years on. See what you think.
“It is December, 1985. The year is winding gently towards its close until Fergus Girvan, a Classicist at Ariel University, finds his research has been stolen by the man who is also seeking to steal his daughter. But which man is, actually, the more unscrupulous of the two? And is there hope for either of them?”
In the autumn of 2015 I published a volume of short fiction: 'Ice Cold Passion and other stories'. I am also the author of novella 'Little Mouse', a shortish piece of historical fiction which I published in 2014 and, a sequel to it, 'Is death really necessary?', my eco thriller set in the near future and which, confusingly, I published in 2009.
All the books are available from all good online bookshops and FeedARead on paper, and as e-books on Kindle.
On a semi-regular basis, and about a month after the event, I post here reviews which I do for Big Al & Pals, the premier reviewer of indie books, based in the States. My interests tend to thrillers, SF, magic realism and other quirky stuff.
On this blog are also posted the reviews I did for Leighton Buzzard Music Club over some five years up to the end of 2015. LBMC present annual seasons of eight monthly chamber music concerts at the Library Theatre in Leighton Buzzard, Bucks. They select young musicians just beginning to make their name - and the concerts are usually magnificent. I was very proud to be associated with them.
I review other music, books, theatre and exhibitions which I've particularly enjoyed.
BTW - it says the link to Facebook is broken. I dispute that. Click it and see, why not?
