BABY BOOMERS
The first episode of my new sitcom, Baby
Boomers, about a group
of fifty-somethings sharing a house in the country - was
showcased in a staged reading at the Soho
Theatre in March.
LOL
LOL premiered to a packed and
lovely house as part of The
Comedy Project season at the Soho
Theatre in March 2009 and subsequently at the Tabard,
at the Rosemary Branch, in
the Henley Festival, at the Pleasance
Islingtonand also at the Brighton
and Oxford Festivals in
2010.
I have also received excellent feedback on my other shows premiered
in The Comedy Project: Drastic
Plastic (2008), Bruised Blueberries (2007)
(now retitled Jubilate!) and Powercut (2006).

LOL won two Gold Standard
awards at Henley 2009: one for Performance and one of
only two for New Writing.

NOT QUITE READY
My short play Not Quite Ready was one of the three winning plays
at the LOST Theatre 5-minute Festival. The Festival was
held over three evenings in December 2009.

for the showcase reading

Paul's, Covent Garden on 26th February: Maureen
Beattie, Ruthie Henshall,
Vince Leigh, Owen

| BETWEEN FRIENDS |
I recently appeared as Laura in Between
Friends, a new play written by Carolyn
Pertwee and me. We played to packed houses and
excellent audience response.
We hope Between Friends will
now enjoy further success elsewhere. Watch this space.
Gene David Kirk (Theatre
503) on Between Friends...
"A visceral piece of writing with palpable tensions underscoring
a seemingly domestic drama. Secrets and lies unravel in this
world of high stakes and the need for love." |
Cast (l to r)
Rosalind Adler - Laura
Catherine Shipton - Helen
Edmund Dehn - Paul
Gyles Brandreth on Between
Friends...
"Funny, touching, beautifully observed - . a constantly
surprising emotional roller-coaster that has you hooked from
start to finish." |
JUBILATE!
Everyone knows someone who thinks they know best. In Jubilate! that
someone is Anna, vicar's wife and
radio personality. She has her own life sorted out - apparently
- and now thinks it'd be a good idea to sort out everyone else's......oh
dear.
|
Barry Humphries on Jubilate!...
"I'm so glad I came - I was so impressed by your acting
and your writing"
and Libby Purves...
"This is marvellous - a real miniature drama crackling
with comedy both dark and light"

SEXOLOGICALLY SPEAKING
I was in two of a quartet of Carolyn Pertwee's
excellent short plays from 15th to 18th November in a sell-out
run at the O.S.O. in Barnes.
(OSO Box Office: 020 8876 9885) The evening was called Sexologically
Speaking. I appeared in Double
Image and On Thin Ice. The
plays are sexy, funny and fab.
