Wonderful week last week, with lots of goodies coming at once. On Tuesday, I reviewed Michael Boyd (former RSC Artistic Director)’s new show, The Open House, for Bristol 24/7. You can read the review here. Then I popped on a train, feeling all intercontinentally high-flyin’, wrote my review on the tracks & when I wokeContinue reading “The Stuff I Do (yippee)”

Thanks to Philip Gladwin at Screenwriting Goldmine for letting me share it here. Here are some headlines: Analysing data from the five mainContinue reading “Women in TV”
Craft Work and Magic Pennies

Watch this space. Meanwhile,Continue reading “Never quiet; always learning”
