In case you didn’t know, I run the website for this theatre group. I’m also responsible (I think that’s the word) for writing the newsletter, and the latest edition is ready now! Take a look. I don’t really write much of it, but extracting the necessary copy from the membership can be very wearing sometimes.… Continue reading Carlton Chronicle December 2004

I Respect The Directors Body Of Work
I had a ‘good one-on-one’ with Debs the Director last night, because she decided ‘my part needed work’, and that the best thing would be to have a ‘hands-on session’. I ‘put in lots of extra work’ and we had many ‘run-throughs’, ‘trying out new positioning’ and making sure my ‘handling of the props’ was… Continue reading I Respect The Directors Body Of Work

Highway to Hell
I’ve been following the work of veteran performance artist Robin Deacon for many years now, from his early musical work in The Attic in Bedford, through the Adamsdown years, to his current status as the premier Tooting-based performance artist currently in circulation. So it was with a great deal of excitement that I learned he… Continue reading Highway to Hell
Ab Fab Script For Sale
In my capacity as ‘bloke who knows about computers’ in the Carlton Dramatic Society, I’ve been given the task of selling a gift that our President, June Whitfield, gave us last year. It is a script for Absolutely Fabulous, Series D, Episode 1, ‘Parralox’, with the Bubble Webcam, Katy Grin selling carpets, and Patsy with… Continue reading Ab Fab Script For Sale
Forthcoming Attractions
The holidays are over and it’s time to get back into rehearsals. “Rehearsals for what?”, I hear you cry. I’m glad you asked me that. The rehearsals are for the Carlton 2004 Workshops, a series of short plays, sketches, sometimes songs, put on in Wimbledon by the Carlton Dramatic Society. It’s a great chance for… Continue reading Forthcoming Attractions
Oh ‘Come’ Ye Merry Gentlemen (snigger)
On Saturday was the Carlton Christmas Party, organised by Ruth, with the help of a motley bunch of us. Once again it was a marvellous transformation of a crummy municipal room into glittering grotto of festive delights. It’s amazing what 20 metres of tinsel and red and green tablecloths can do. Add to the mix… Continue reading Oh ‘Come’ Ye Merry Gentlemen (snigger)
2 Gents
On a more positive note (“La!”), I went to see my pals, the Carlton Dramatic Society, in the new adaptation of Two Gentlemen of Verona. Bollywood dances, comic interludes, a scene- and hat-stealing dog, great original music and fantastic costumes combined to make a wonderfully enjoyable evening’s entertainment. The set was innovative and flexible, and… Continue reading 2 Gents
Some Day I’ll Flyer Away
Ah well, back to work. Nice weekend though, relaxing and constructive in equal measure. Finally got this site going a bit more, for one thing. The ‘Two Gents’ flyers are ordered and on their way, so that’s a tick in a box. BTW, sorry about the myriad popups that the Carlton site gives you –… Continue reading Some Day I’ll Flyer Away
‘Commission’!
Yesterday I got asked by JG at Carlton to do the posters for the next show, Two Gentlemen of Verona. It’s nice to feel wanted! Watch this space for the results of my efforts. It’ll be based on the original PC artwork, cleaned up, chopped up, and placed in a Xara doc. Let’s hope it… Continue reading ‘Commission’!
