(Reposting to fix the alt text - sorry!) Thank you to everyone who came to our sold out production of The Tempest on the Golden Hinde. Our revels now are ended. Or should that be 'for now'... Photos by @julianguideraphotography (except the last one!)

I've officially found the best line in any play ever:

Proximus: Ha, ha, ha, (stage direction: A stone falls and kills Proximus)

Happy Shakespeare’s birthday everyone! In VERY exciting news, I’ve been asked to adapt The Tempest for a 60-minute performance on The Golden Hinde, a floating museum moored on the Thames. If you’re in London this September, come and see a (shortened) Shakespeare play on an actual ship!

Last Friday a short libretto of mine about rival épée fencers premiered at the Royal Academy of Music as part of their Opera Makers course 2025-6 with amazing music by Ruben Doda. This has been such a fun project - I never thought I'd be asking singers to sing and duel at the same time!

Two singers, one in white and one in black, pose opposite each other in the stance of epee fencers: knees bent, sword hand forward. They are in a studio with a grand piano where a pianist sits and plays the accompaniment.

The two singers sit facing the audience, they have towels and sports bottles as if they are in a changing room.

The conductor, composer, singers, pianist and librettist pose smiling for a photograph in the same room where the performance took place.

The same room, a large group of all the teams for the four short operas smiles for the camera. In the centre is Sophie, the director, who has white hair and is looking relieved that everything went well.

Just sitting down to get some writing done and YouTube recommends me a 20 minute video of outtakes from Gremlins 2. How am I supposed to work under these conditions?

Someone who knows me very well got me my very own mogwai. He’s already befriending the cat, now to keep him away from the leftovers after midnight…Merry Christmas everyone!

Gizmo doll from the movie ‘Gremlins’ a small furry creature with big ears and a cute face, white and brown splotches.

The same doll perched on the back of a black fluffy cat with a white nose, a white chest and big golden eyes. The cat looks faintly annoyed.

Don’t worry, the Kate Bush Christmas version of Babooshka can’t hurt you.’ The Kate Bush Christmas version of Babooshka:

Kate Bush dances in front of a green screen which is showing an enormous creepy face which (I think) is supposed to be a Christmassy moon.

I impulse-bought one of those overnight face masks and it’s all gone a bit Georges Franju Eyes Without a Face (1960)

Close up shot of the young female protagonist of wearing her white face mask.

The film poster where the staring eyes stand out alarmingly from the white blankness where a face should be.

This year I've published 28 lost tales by Oscar Cook, presented a new 'lost' author called Bernard C. Blake and the BL have published my major 'lost' occult discovery. It's been quite the year.

This week, I’ve been working as a librettist on some intense but incredible Opera Lab workshops at the Royal Academy of Music. On our final day we had 24 hours to write a mini opera based on a news headline. Our group was given ‘Couple Adopts Pig from a Sanctuary only to Cook and Eat Her.’ (1/2)

Brightly lit photo of the Royal Academy of Music seen from the street over the decorative iron railings. The building is red brick and grand.

A small concert room where two singers are performing in front of a cellist, a flautist and a pianist. One of the singers is pretending to be a pig eating out of a bowl, the other is patting her ominously on the head. No one is in costume, this is a plain clothes performance.

Last night I had a dream where I’d submitted a story about ‘space worms’ (?!) to a workshop being run by Kate Bush, and I thought damn, I shouldn’t have sent the one about the space worms, it’s not my best and then Kate Bush came up to me and said (1/2)

It’s good to know that, no matter how bad my drawings are, if I write something important enough beside them they might be on the cover of a book one day.

Cover of the Penguin Classics 'The Apocryphal Gospels' with a photo of a manuscript on he cover. The text of the manuscript is decorated with a very poorly drawn Jesus and two criminals being executed. Apart from anything else, the legs of Jesus have been accidentally attached to the cross itself instead of his body.

Someone pointed out to me recently that the song of the mice in Bagpuss is sung to the tune of ‘summer is icumen in’ which I think means Bagpuss is a folk horror... www.readingmuseum.org.uk/blog/bagpuss...

Bagpuss and...medieval Reading?

Summer is Icumen In. It’s bigger than Reading Festival. It’s been around longer than the Purple Turtle.
