The Extreme Staycation

Location: London, UK COVID-19 / Coronavirus Outbreak Lockdown I wrote a short play which I submitted to a competition last year and it was selected by the lovely people at Get Over It Productions to be performed at their new writing event in January 2020. I was really chuffed that it was chosen.  I think I got the email from them on the same day I received a rejection from another competition so it was a welcome boost to my confidence as a writer. It was quite a surreal experience as I had no input into casting or direction - I handed it over and then turned up at the theatre to see it for the first time along with everyone else and I was really happy with their choices. The play has been recorded during lockdown and released as a podcast.  This is such a lovely gift - I am now able to invite to world to listen and can share my little play with an infinite number of friends and family who would never have made it to the theatre to see it. So big THANK YOU to Get Over It Produ...

Location: London, UK COVID-19 / Coronavirus Outbreak Lockdown I love to walk as I've mentioned before and to accompany my walk, I enjoy a good podcast.  But I've also taken to listening while I cook or clean. My regular ones include: Make Me Smart  - Usually weekly, now daily, American.  Looks at news, economy and tech, really interesting and fun. The Chickpeeps  - This is a podcast about all elements of veganism.  It's much more accessible and fun than it sounds and will answer any questions as they have loads of experts as guests. Serial  - the first series was a huge talking point worldwide, featuring the case of Adnan Syed.  I would also recommend the following series, very interesting. The Teachers Pet  - about the disappearance of Lynnette Dawson in Sydney, Australia in 1982.  Fascinating and quite frankly, horrifying. Slow Burn  - series 1 is all about Watergate which I am currently listening to....
