Art Lot went aroaming a day late [technical probs - my fault!] today Wed October 20...so if you missed these great on-site interviews, fear not…it is repeated this Sunday Oct 24 at 3pm.

I went to Stroud’s Museum in the Park to see a stunning exhibition of abstract art.

Six artists in all are showing together there in an exhibition called Crossings; they are Noela Bewry, Terry Cripps, Marianne Hellwig John, Penny Prince, Sue Rae and Maggie Shaw.

Four of the six artists walk and talked me through their work, giving insights into their work, and their passion for what they do…you must must must listen in:

The exhibition closes on October 31…so get down there asap…as a representation of all things currently contemporary, it’s got everything…go, go, go!

AND...

My play, Sunset Stripped, played, as they say, to a packed house at the Everyman Studio Theatre, Cheltenham, last Friday.

What a fantastic experience – to work with the director and actors all day and then to see my characters, who up ‘til then had only been in my head, to see them come alive…fantastic! Many thanks to The Everyman, and to Paul Milton, the Director of Outreach there for a great opportunity.

After the show there was a feedback session…and what great feedback I had.

Thanks to all involved! Brilliant!

The director was the inimitable Bill Cronshaw (of Dreamshed Theatre fame), and the superb actors were Jilly Breeze as Ann (on the frying pan); the butter-wouldn't-melt  Nicola Daniels as Eida; that brute Jonathan Legg as Pieter; and the irrepressible Chris Ilston as Edward...

Costumes and set were by the stylish Hayley Spicer; with lighting-genius Craig Rogers in the crow's nest.

A very big thank-you to you all!
