I've been meaning to post about this for ages, and keep not being organized enough.

This week, I'm appearing in an interactive murder mystery event called 'In the Closet'. So if you like that sort of thing and are in or near Oxford, come along and watch and have a go at solving the crime! Performances are tonight (Tuesday), tomorrow, and Saturday, ( Read more... )

On a less positive note, it also has Office 2007 on it.

In many ways, this is turning out to be pretty much as I expected. But imagine my surprise when I got in from work yesterday to find a strange man in the living room. He introduced himself as Mike (I didn’t quite catch his surname, but it sounded something like Crowsough), and said he was ( Read more... )

I've been meaning to do a shameless plug for this for the last week or so, but haven't got round to it because I've been a tad busy with rehearsals...

A slightly cheeky request... as some of you will know, I'm directing The History Boys (Old Fire Station Studio Theatre in Oxford, 6th-10th October). The props we need include two motorcycle helmets, and these are proving difficult to locate in a way that doesn't exceed our budget...

As I know there are some bikers on my flist, I wondered if by any ( Read more... )

Following what seems to be the general trend, I have acquired a Dreamwidth account, with the same username as this journal. I have added the people I could find to my circle, but I'm sure there are others I have failed to track down, so if this includes you, please draw this to my attention by some means ( Read more... )

... who might like to be on the telly.

St Aldate's (the church I'm a member of) is running its usual Alpha course (eight week introduction to Christianity with lots of opportunity for questions and discussion) this term, starting tomorrow evening. However, this time, they're looking for a group of people who would be willing to be filmed during the ( Read more... )

A friend of mine from church had a baby a couple of months ago, and last night some of us went round to her house for a baby-shower type event (it would have happened before the baby arrived, except he was early). One of the fun activities that had been organized was decorating bibs with fabric pens and crayons.

I started off by drawing a rainbow on ( Read more... )

(With the usual apologies to those not in the UK.)

I'm in As You Like It at the OFS this week, playing Audrey. It's shaping up to be a fun show!

Opening night is tonight, and it runs till Saturday. Performances at 7.30pm, with a matinee at 2.30pm on Saturday. More info here - you can book tickets online, but it's better to ring the box office, as ( Read more... )

So here we are at the beginning of 7th week, and I'm in the throes of an all-too-familiar experience. Let's call it end-of-term syndrome, or EoTS, for want of anything more imaginative.

EoTS is the result of a gradually increasing workload at the point in term where my energy reserves are starting to run low. The increase in workload is partly down ( Read more... )
