This time, Nick Hennegan has been at the London Library Summer Party, but is taking The Birth of Frankenstein to the Edinburgh Fringe... and invites you to join in the research!

Nick Hennegan is in the Pub!

Walt Whitman in 1887.
Nick Hennegan is in the Cross Keys Pub in Hammersmith, London W6 and looks at some of the famous local writers and celebrates American Walt Whitman’s Birthday!

How brilliant to meet up with John James – in St James, London – to talk about Birmingham theatre, the old Maverick Pub Theatre days, Two at the BILLESLEY Pub in June and, occasionally… on my part, rubbish! This was us in 1997 at Lorenzo’s in Brum accepting an ABSA Award. (Association of Business Sponsorships of the Arts.) Spot the flyer in my pocket for my play, A Ghost of A Chance, which went on to win a few awards, don’t y’ know!
… sorry… Wales. The Silence of Wales.
Nick Hennegan is taking an inexpensive break in wonderful Wales, celebrating the Welsh Wizard. Dylan Thomas Day – 14th May – marks the anniversary of the first time Under Milk Wood was performed in New York. It’s very important for Creatives to take breaks!

Nick Hennegan celebrates International Dylan Thomas Day with readings from Cerys Matthews and Guy Masterson.
