At the opening night of ‘Persuasion’ at the Tabard #Theatre, I popped over the road to celebrate WB Yeats!

Hellooo Chiswick Writers…!
A bit late, but with #chiswick #writers at the @georgeivw4 for the Book Festival. Hear the full night on http://www.BohemianBritain.com.
From the Edinburgh Fringe to the Chiswick Book Festival.
After returning from a successful run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Nick Hennegan is in Chiswick, West London, for the Book Festival’s Local Writers evening at the George lV Pub on the High Road. Hear a selection of local writers with just TWO minutes to present their books… before being noisily penalised!
Part 2 next week.
RIP Peter Wilson.
I was shocked and saddened to hear of the passing of #theatre producer Peter Wilson, aged 72.
He was my @StageOneNewProd mentor and founder of the brilliant @pwproductions, best known perhaps for ‘The Woman in Black’ in the West End. He supported our People’s Company too.
I sent him a script in March and now understand why he didn’t get back to me. Thinking of his family. ❤️
RIP lovely man.
Last Friday night at the Fringe.
We had a bit of a party! The actor at the end played Boris Johnson in ‘Dom’… a play about Dominic Cummings. Yep!
And that’s a (Scottish) Wrap!
And that’s the last ‘The Birth of Frankenstein’ show @edfringe for 2023.
Three of this @thepleasance team are now heading to #Birmingham. We’re Alive from tomorrow! https://tinyurl.com/3pzhvdh4 Come and see us at The Billesley, and please share! x
How lovely was it seeing our last year’s Fringe show leading lady Alex, performing her own, brilliant, Fringe show, ‘When We Died’ at Summerhall @edfringe. Go see her final show. I’m surrounded by incredible talent up here! x
Welcome to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2023. Oh… it’s nearly finished!
This is a blog for those with a bohemian bent, which is my way of saying I can sound a bit trendy whilst being a complete idiot. And use hashtags and stuff. @edfringe #Fillyerboots.
But I do have one bit of sound advice for anyone who wants to binge on theatre at the world’s biggest open arts festival – the Edinburgh Fringe. DON’T produce a show here.
That’s not to say you shouldn’t come here as an actor or technician or in fact any other role with a show. Just don’t produce if you want to see a lot of theatre. I’m guessing even the rich big-shot producers would agree.
Now not many people in theatre know what theatre producers do, and at the level I’m at we do a lot. A real lot. There’s always something to do, work on, improve, network, promote. And if you find you have a bit of free time, you will, of course, take flyers to places and people. I know there are still a pile of flyers to get though. We’ve sold out a few times, got great 5 star reviews. But. Maybe if I do a bit more flyering… you know… on top of the flyering already being done by the flyerers, I might… just might… sell one more ticket. It’s got to be done. So I won’t go and see that show, I’ll use my time more productively.
I’m planning to go and see a few more shows next week. Oh hang on! The bloody festival finishes on Monday! Bugger!
For more information on tickets and stuff… see here.
End of week 2!
Couldn’t be prouder of the lovely ‘The Birth of Frankenstein’ team. At the end of week 2 @edfringe @thepleasance in #Edinbugh #fillyerboots
#Birmingham beckons!
A love story!
At the Edinburgh Fringe AND The BILLESLEY Pub 29-31 August. Come see us!
