Maddie, our lead singer, did a solo set at OVADA Oxford as part of their After Love exhibition.

She's not a permanent fixture so she's not there now. The non-performance art is, though, and looks very worth a visit. www.afterlove.uk/newwriting/a... www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

REVIEW: 3.5 stars to 10 Loves @BreadandRosesTC

“A promising first production reminding us of the nature of love.”

#theatre #newwriting
REVIEW: 10 LOVES
Produced by Magnifying Glass Theatre as its first show, 10 Loves certainly has an original premise and deserves its place in Lambeth Fringe.

Whilst I plan the rest of book 1, I have started a place for any #shortstories and #flashfiction. My first is called "The Prisoner".
Just me, practicing my writing and prose and trying out different styles.

"It’s the kind of story you might have seen in a Fringe context before, but rarely is it delivered as effectively as this thanks to the power of Kelsey’s performance."

Final performance tonight for SIGNIFICANT OTHER at the Jack Studio Theatre, closing out a completely sold-out second and final week.

A wonderful way for Shireen Shaikh’s debut play to finish its first full production.

One final show. One final full house. 🎭
