The Wind in the Willows: a Weasel's Tale Sun 3pm Radio 4 It's a brave move to reinterpret such a family classic and dramatist Tom Morton-Smith is to be congratulated for making this work so well. Told from the point of view of a young weasel, this honours the spirit of the novel while bringing prescient insight on what it means to be seen as an interloper from a lower class. With Penelope Wilton as the narrator, this is top notch.

My radio play, a variation on The Wind in the Willows, is a Pick of the Week in the current edition of @radiotimes.bsky.social. Listen at 3pm Sunday on BBC Radio 4.

Maybe the person who suggests the meeting about the meeting would be in line for promotion? 🧐

Maybe they should have a meeting about it?

Happy Halloween from Gavin

“For research”. Ha! “Because I am a gianormous ABBA fan” more likely! 😘💅🏻🪩✨

I have had a lovely time playing with actors this past couple weeks: last week running the @newearththeatre.bsky.social Liverpool Theatre Makers Academy and this week workshopping a beautiful and heartbreaking new play with @tommortonsmith.com. It’s been great & I’d like to do more of it soon please

Many happy returns of the day!! Hope it was a good one! 🥳

I am a bit

I joined a puppetry playtime workshop this evening and 10/10 would recommend as a balm for the soul. Feeling restored and entirely put back together. I love puppets.

My cat is cute, but also filthy (he will NOT let me give him a bath).

What does this even mean? Yakisoba? Extremely questionable, Pringles.

It’s ok - I love a good thunderstorm! ⛈️

A sign our holiday is over.

Tell you what, butterscotch angel delight made with a teensy bit of rum is delicious.

This is why you should wear shin pads for kickboxing. Am off on holiday tomorrow and these bruises are gonna look GREAT on the beach 👙

I would love to see you start this revival!

Ai Ninomiya’s voice never fails to give me goosebumps. Enjoy this footage of her singing the theme song from My Neighbour Totoro at West End Live earlier today.

I am so happy to hear this 🥹🥰

Recorded some audition tapes this morning, which is something I’ve not done in an absolute age. It was fun and the home studio still sounds good so if anyone needs a little Tan voice for their audio drama/game/something else, HMU.
