If anyone would like to make a pledge, no matter what amount, towards the making of this short film Iโ€™ve written Iโ€™d be eternally grateful. Itโ€™s about two people connecting in a very unexpected way with music bringing them together.

There's a new play about women's football in the WW1 era being produced next year. Intriguingly it was written in Italian originally and produced in Milan although it is about a Sheffield team. Great to know that the subject is still retaining interest.

Was that the inspiration for The Phantom Raspberry Blower by Spike Milligan then later by The Two Ronnies?

After the recent film about the Shakers leader Ann Lee hereโ€™s another one about an isolated religious community with unorthodox beliefs. Maybe there is scope for theatre works exploring similar ground such as my play Children of God.

The Voices of GAIA is on tonight at The Core at Corby Cube and it includes my piece Magic Carpets which can also be heard on the website. In it a young girl recounts a perilous sea voyage to what she hopes is a safer place to live.
