I think I'm in love.

I'm not quite sure how to say this... Aw! Bugger it! He who dares. I think I've fallen for Mike, when I see him my heart skips a beat I start to sweat and get moist in areas I never thought could get moist. He makes me smile. I can't help acting like a child around him though, can anyone help me and give me some advice? Last time I cruelly mocked his feet, I said they reminded me of hobbits and they were disgusting. Curse my damned mouth.! What I couldn't say is that I wanted to Cuddle up to… Continue

STRAIGHT - by Neil Bebber (produced by UNDEB THEATRE). The morning after the last night...

So. After a sold out run, that's it. It's all still sinking in. Thanks to everyone at UNDEB for putting on a brilliant show. Thanks to two amazing actors, Hasan Dixon and Jolyon Westhorpe, for breathing life into words on a page. Thanks to Tom Cullen for his vision. Thanks to Chris O'Donoghue for his lights and sound and attention to detail. Thanks to bewildered minibus drivers. And last, but not least, thank you to everyone that came to see the show and for all your generous feedback.… Continue

Turns out Mathew Lloyd is not as nice as you might think, he called me a name earlier then he put sand in my plimmies!


This behaviour has driven me to tears and now that I have stopped crying on the phone to my mother, I'm going to let the world know.


He threw a snotty tissue at me yesterday which I thought was friendly banter. It wasn't!


Stop smoking, it's not cool!!
Stop referring to yourself by your last name…

First Blog

It's the day after the night before, and I am happy to say I am not full up with cold!!! Happy days! Everyone was fantastic yesterday, really mucking in even though the weather was wet, to say the least.


It has been a great 3 week process, lots of laughs, lots of storming out of rehearsals, lots of fights, like real fights with blood and broken bones, but that's how Catherine rolls!


But on a more serious note it has been a great process, and for a piece of…

Edinburgh - any shows to recommend for review?

Hi everyone,



I'm heading to Edinburgh this year for just a week to see lots of shows and do lots and lots of writing. I've somehow managed to blag my way in as a sort of runner for Lyn Gardner at the Guardian, meaning that I will be spending every day seeing as much as I possibly can and then reporting back to Lyn on what she should go and see for review. There are obviously way too many shows for Lyn to see, let alone review, so she has entrusted me (god help her) with the… Continue

Childs Play with NTW on The Beach in Prestatyn

When was the last time you went to the beach? The last time you played a game? Acted like a child? ... escaped the chaos of everyday life, the mess and disorganisation that is the reality of our worlds and had good old childish fun? With a narrative that makes you feel you are part of something much deeper and bigger then yourself ... a focus on 'we' not 'I' ... The Beach hits home!



For me I did this last night, played games on a beach in Prestatyn, and lost myself in the production.… Continue
