May the Fourth be with you!

Hiya gang, and first of all a big 'shout out' to "Mr Logan" who just returned from his honeymoon. His name has been changed to protect the guilty. (You know who you are!)

So it's May already and things are both slow AND hectic. Been focusing mainly on theatre at the moment, but I want to get my ass in gear (How American!) and start getting some other stuff out that might actually bring in some money.

'Write' now (Geddit? How fuggin' witty am I?) even a Hallmark card commission would look good. Met John McGrath the Director of the National Theatre of Wales at a talk in the Sherman in Cardiff and what a nice guy he was, but more importantly, he said his focus was going to be on the writing and the writers, which seems obvious but so many forget that.

The theatre group I'm running with, Act Write, wants to take a break till Nov cos we have a shortage of writers & plays, but I'm worried if we do that, we won't get everyone back together again.

Ayways, off to London tomorrow to see Peer Gynt at the Barbican, then to see a friend of mine, Jodie Osterland in 'Seven Other Children' at the New End Theatre, Hampstead. She is one of the best actors I've ever seen, and if you need someone in your films, you can't get better outside of the top rank.

More soon, as I've made a New Spring Resolution to update my blog more often.

Cheery bye!
