Wonderful day Bristol Old Vic yesterday, in the company of 15 playwrights at the #PlaywrightsFlashmob, talking about everything from marketing to emotional resilience to musicals. Much solidarity and hope – including a hope for more gatherings in future.

Voted. It's an amazing thing to be in a marginal where there's a choice between two different kinds of hope. Never known it before.

OK, time to update this...

Just finished drafting my third play in six months. Because I never fucking learn.

Friends... publishers... authors... Please let me know about your novellas / very short novels publishing in 2025. I want to put them on the radio. Thank you 🙏

As if I'm going to divulge that information openly, to my countless enemies.

This got its first table read at Bristol Old Vic the other day. Beautifully done by some excellent actors. Also very much admire the clarity of the table. (photo by Amanda Fawcett)
