​Cheese Dream
 
Tethering the gunwale was proving impossible
the right flank of her too bare and ratted to
meet flush the port wall
insufficient rope-wear and imagination - 
running out of time
the ocean floor rising soon her
Victorian bowed beauty will land on land,
boys breaking bones,
broken boys excavating a whale.
 
A pageant of Metallica mermaids
play mahjong on an island rock a quarter mile out,
upping the wave count to nine point nine:
reminds me of Macbeth but
with the sun shining.
Fish fish flying fish,
catching the sail
submerged in a tartan submarine,
full to the brim with
tumshies and shortbread, sea snails
at the periscope and lobster chef
passing the porridge,
passing the porridge-perfect.

Yesterday at 2.15 pm it all kicked off at the Young Vic Theatre. Brilliant performances from Paul Mason, Khalid Abdalla, Lara Sawalha and Sirine Saba and a thought provoking instance of promenade theatre. Immersive powerful footage from many of the major uprisings since 2002. Bravo to Paul and the cast, good luck with taking the project world-wide.

Following the successful script in-hand performance by Andrew French, Helen Clapp and Hannah Watkins, The Bag will next be performed in New York (dates to be confirmed). New projects in development include The VDREAM Project which experiments with breath and dreams. A soundscape will be devised by Marcus Dodd Wilson. We are also taking Primo Atlantis on the road and aim to perform it in Sheffield and possibly Manchester.

I am also working on a collection of the Chart Poems (Graphic Poems) following publication in Route 57.  Finally I am working on a fascinating screenplay titled The Ghost Club which explores W.B.Yeats' involvement with The Order of the Golden Dawn and The Ghost Club, founded by Cambridge University. 

Come see my one-act play titled 'The Bag' at The Cockpit Theatre in London.
