Much though I have enjoyed all of my many trips to the USA over forty or so years I have realised that I cannot go there any more until there is what we might call β€˜regime change’ Like Iran they are killing their own citizens. Tragic

Interesting to see Inspector Morse - House of Ghosts by Alma Cullen is touring again. It was on in Oxford this week 16 years after I played that part in it at the same theatre. Good play - well worth a revival.

The advert says β€˜the coolest gadgets of 2025’ and shows something that looks pretty cool, which does not figure at all on the website when you go there. I’ve fallen for it several times.! Enough already!

Just watched the first two episodes of the war between the land and the sea
Brilliant stuff, just brilliant
Hats off to Russell T and Pete Tighe and all involved.

For years I have complained about the absence of anything in a theatre program to indicate what year the play took place in and still they don’t include the year with the date. Fine when you’re in the theatre, but not years later when you’re looking at them.

This is James and Alana Who between them ensured I was at Salisbury Comicon today when a pothole destroyed two of my tyres when I was 9 miles away! They picked me up and waited for the AA and tyre repairer

25 years ago this last weekend, my dearest oldest friend Stephen Barry left us. He was not only a great director and theatre administrator but the best friend I ever had and I still miss his humour, kindness, and loyalty. I just wanted to see his name out there again and send love to his family.
