Take 2! With the correct email this time..!
Yep! It’s still happening. Sorry if you emailed the old address. We’ll get your emails at george@mavericktheatre.co.uk. and you can now audition and take part remotely.
Trying to have a holiday, but time to get this out – a new Writing project. Get involved!
I wrote George Holmes and the Seven Dimensions at school. In the 1960’s. It might be time it sees the light of day, so in spite of no budget, we’re going to try this – an audio experiment. We’re recording the first 15 minute episode to broadcast on Resonance 104.4fm and BohemianBritain.com. If it works… who knows?
Please get in touch if you’re interested. There’s more adult casting to come if this works. And of course, Moms, Dads, siblings and carers are welcome as chaperone’s for younger actors!
New kids on the (Theatre) block…
At the opening of the new #scrumtheatre space in #Hammersmith #London last night.
The actor (and fellow Brummie!) Adrian Lester was there and cut the ribbon. It was great fun!
London Literary Pub Crawl.
The @LondonLiteraryPubCrawl comes to a Fitzrovian haunt of old- The Bricklayers on Gresse St.

Where did you get that hat..!
Live from Warwick with headliners ‘The Feeling’ And a VERY nice new cap…! 😳
The Parting Glass.
That’s a Scottish wrap. And a pint!
So. My first virginal Edinburgh Fringe is over (see my earlier post.) I’m sitting writing this in the Canon’s Gate Pub on the Royal Mile. And for the last time this year, I shall take in another, and the final, excellent ‘Late With Kate’. With the brilliant comedian and writer, Kate Smurthwaite.
I’ve not had time to process things yet, but I shall have a few pints to celebrate getting here, to the last night of the 2024 Edinburgh Festival Fringe!
Now I’m on the (much delayed) train home. I did have a couple of pints last night. Kate was excellent as always, as were her guest comedians, including Mr Meredith, who London Literary Pub Crawlers might remember from The Coach and Horses Pub in Soho, in the days when there used to be pianists on a Saturday night. We chatted about how I might revive my spoken-word event ‘The SpeakEasy Cabaret.’
I think the London Edinburgh Literary Pub Crawl concept is right, and the experience has grown over the month. I like that we can shine a light on how we are all writers – English and Scottish – and how English and other writers love (and hate) affairs with Edinburgh, and the lovely city has influenced their lives.
I’ve also become a fan of ‘Rabbie’ Burns, the Scottish poet. And might do something with that later.
If you came to the Crawl, please get in touch and tell me what you thought. I deliberately didn’t invite the press because it was a work in progress.
And as I left the venue earlier, one of the lovely staff who’d been on the tour turned round and said,
“Great show. We had a lot of fun. See you next year?”
That, to quote Hamlet, is the question!
Back from The Fringe!
Back from the Fringe – and looking forward to a new audio play!
And of course our regular Literary Pub Crawl is out every week in Soho and Fitzrovia!
The final, final Parting glass!
And that’s a wrap! The final gang on the final 1st Edinburgh (not London!) Literary Pub Crawl wave goodbye.
It’s been a blast with some lovely people. The tour has changed over the month. I probably need to nail the script down now. Might there be a 2025 session?
Slàinte mhath!

The Parting Glass.
On the way to the Final Edinburgh Literary Pub Crawl @thepleasance with @edfringe
It’s been a work in progress, a bit of a slog, but as with our @londonliterarypubcrawl I’ve met some fantastic people from around the world!
Cheers! Or should I say Slàinte mhath!
