Happy Jane Austen Day!
Miss Austen was born 250 years ago today. My favourite novel of hers is Pride & Prejudice, but Persuasion is a close second.

Visiting Canterbury, I was delighted to see that Chaucer has been joined on the street by Aphra Behn. I’d no idea she’d lived in Canterbury, or that there was a campaign to mark that with a statue. Fab when neglected women writers of the past are given the recognition they deserve.

To Wyndham’s Theatre, London, to see Born With Teeth, a brilliant, dynamic, fire-cracker of a play that imagines a relationship between Shakespeare and Marlowe.Terrific chemistry between the actors makes this two-hander an exhilarating piece of theatre. Highly recommended

My book, Dancing In The Moonlight, at the stage door of a West End theatre. The words carved into the doorframe gave me the idea for the quotes carved above the doors at the Nightingale Playhouse where, in the book, my dancer heroine, Nell, longs to perform.

A fab weekend working front of house at a local #theatre for a performing arts school production of Fame. Blown away by the student actors’ amazing talent & the maturity with which they conveyed the emotion of the songs. Fab to know that the next generation of #musicaltheatre is in safe hands.
