In this episode I discuss the Bury Theatre Workshop production of J M Barries' play Mary Rose. Very much a departure from Peter Pan, his most famous work, Mary Rose is a sad and moving story of the life and fate of young Mary Rose, a happy go lucky young girl who's life takes a dark turn after a visit to a mysterious island in Scotland. My co-presenter, Seb Ranson interviews director Tim Lodge about his decision to stage the play and looks at what Bury Theatre Workshop has planned for the rest of the year.

In this episode I share the first show review done by Seb Ranson for the podcast. This is of a production of Pygmalion by the Sudbury Dramatic Society and was performed at The Quay Theatre, Sudbury from the 9th to the 13th of July 2024.

In this episode, I share some unexplained stories about strange events that happened to myself, family members and friends at the Little Theatre Leicester many years ago.

Inspired by Halloween 2024 (which prompted me to recall these events) I thought that it would be fun to share them with you.

In this episode I look back at our recent production of Relative Values performed at The Quay Theatre Sudbury and look at what it takes to stage a show like this.
