Is it wise to do three performances of a one-hour panto during the day and then spend the evening doing a full run of A Midsummer Night’s Dream (For Christmas)? Asking for a friend, obviously…

A busy day - rehearsals in Whitstable for A Midsummer Night’s Dream (for Christmas), then games of Blood on the Clocktower in Faversham. That darned Librarian role continues to elude me in BotC.

Five years ago, The Emperor’s Clothes had its first opening night. I am so proud of this show, which I wrote the script for. You can listen to the songs on streaming platforms via linktr.ee/TECmusical - check out ‘A Thousand Footsteps’ in particular, which has so much to say to our current world.

Four different logos for The Emperor’s Clothes. Yellow is the feature colour, with other themes being an open wardrobe, a crown and peacock feathers.

At the end of last week, I toured the campus libraries taking s(h)elfies with my book. Because that’s perfectly normal behaviour. I discovered that even though I am an actor, I clearly do not know what to do with my face in a selfie situation.

Four pictures of a middle aged man pointing at copies of a book called Finding and using information. Some smiles look natural, some do not.

I take on a lot of stuff. Maybe too much stuff. I had to stop doing theatre for half of last year to create the time for writing my book, yet still managed to be in 5 shows and backstage for 2 others, all crammed in to the beginning and end of 2024. However many will I manage this year???

My book, “Finding and using information: a guide for nursing, health and social care”, is now out in the world, which is beyond exciting. I hope it will be useful for many health and social care students. @lanternpublishing.bsky.social

The cover of a book called “Finding and Using Information” by David Bedford. It shows a picture of a river running through a verdant landscape.

A very happy man holds a copy of a book, looking proud as punch.

As a librarian (and simply as a person), the rise of mis- and more worryingly disinformation is more than a frustration, it is a genuine cause for concern. Nobody and nowhere gets it right all the time (not The Lancet, not me), but it is so important to try.

Very soon really does mean VERY soon in this case! I am eagerly looking forward to its arrival.

Current theatrical activity - I’m directing a production of Our House. We have a fantastic cast and team, and everyone is up for the challenge. This is an incredibly complex show, but great fun for audience, actors and everyone else involved.

The wonderful @cccubookshop.bsky.social has set up a university author page for me, as my “Finding and using information” book is coming very soon. bookshop.canterbury.ac.uk/bedford-david This has been an incredible amount of work and a fascinating experience.
