My Year With Roald Dahl

Week 2  (Day 4)

Rediscovering the works of old Roald. And they are still joyous.

This morning I learned that Roald Dahl was introduced to Quentin Blake by the publisher Tom Maschler.

Dahl, the Cardiff born son of Norwegian immigrants was introduced to Blake by a refugee.

Yes, migration will change our culture.

“The human bean,” the Giant went on, “is coming in dillions of different…

My Year With Roald Dahl

I've just started as Participation Director for the mammoth show that will be City Of The Unexpected. Next September, for the centenary of Roald Dahl's birth, NTW and WMC will be transforming the centre of Cardiff. 3 days of mischief and mayhem for all ages. Oh brilliant!

As the (almost) year evolves, I'll be blogging along, giving my view through the Dahloscope.

Day 1:

I was introduced to a software monster called…

Hi John, about your Ubuntu question - can you supply more info? Can you see the buttons at all and how do they behave if so? What web browser are you using? Happy to help. Cheers, Carl

hi Ceri - i'd love to say yes but we are really jammed to the rafters - if you are in cardiff anyway then it's worth coming to the venue ( 10ft tall ) to check for returns- a few folks have had success that way. . . otherwise i'm really hoping to revive the show as we've turned a lot of people away. all the best , john

virtually taking over my body! No - just not used to the feeling of an expanding tum... all's well in there I think. Down in the Diff at the end of this month for rehearsals with Sean - you about? or are you busy playing the distressed father of a goat hurder up a hillock in Loch Limberup or something?! x

Eeuch!
Am fine but, have had a day of issues, as we get ready to move rehearsals to Newport.
Have a look at the blog I'm posting about Wardrobe Diaries. I'm trying to be honest & give an idea of the journey we're on.
Hope we get time to have a proper chat soon.
