Welcome

Thanks for reading. It's been a challenging but satisfying week. Making It In Hollywood is now out there. I submitted it to Cannes on Monday and they confirmed receipt. I'll find out before the press conference in 2 weeks. I've also sent it to BBC, Sky, Pathe, Momentum and Edinburgh Film Festival, though I may be too late for that. I also noticed that Film London have something called LUFF which if your film is selected, it gets screened in front of sales people and distributors. I'll keep you posted, whatever the outcome.

Have a great week and check out the Radio, TV and online blogs. Feel free to share around online if you see something a friend may like.

Gates of Gold at Library Theatre, Manchester
Published by: Caroline May on Thursday 26th March 2009

The story is inspired by Micheál MacLiammóir and Hilton Edwards, fabled actors turned writer-producer-directors who founded the Gate Theatre in Dublin. Despite their apparently impeccable Celtic credentials, both were Londoners by birth – a fact they went to some lengths to deny. Yet strangely, considering the moral tenor of the times, they made no secret of their homosexual relationship, remaining linked personally and professionally until MacLiammóir’s death in 1978.

Chorus of Disapproval at the Watford Palace Theatre
Published by: Elspeth Rae on Thursday 26th March 2009

What especially delighted me was the perfect display of, through, at times completey stereotyped characters, the idiosyncrasies and bitchy claustrophobia of performance within an amateur dramatic society.

Boeing Boeing – Theatre Royal, Glasgow – 23rd – 28th March 2009
Published by: Cameron Lowe on Wednesday 25th March 2009

When flight changes on a visit to London meant that I missed this play on it’s West End run (little realising the irony), I was more than delighted to see it touring to Glasgow this year, and went along with high expectations.

All The Fun Of The Fair
Published by: Steve Burbridge on Monday 23rd March 2009

All The Fun Of The Fair, as the title suggests, is set against the backdrop of a travelling funfair that is struggling to survive in the late seventies. Starring David Essex as funfair owner Levi Lee and featuring almost all of his hits, it was always going to be something rather special.
