Delivering Your Daily Dread

     
Day of the Dead
A full house, again. Cabaret tables at front, last-comers squeezing in back rows. It’s exciting that the audience is finding this unusual performance: live literature, local talent, inimitable venue, not part of any festival.

It was a great night: experienced performers alongside first-timers, several drawn into the fold through Tessa Ditner’s efforts with Portsmouth Writers Hub meetings and our ReAuthoring workshop with Greg Klerkx.

       
Audience were livelier than ever this year: more costumes, more chat, more interaction with performers. Books sold by Blackwell’s; charity skulls painted for local art project Community Fusion. A huge collaborative effort, and a show I’m proud of.

We’ll be back in Bookfest (now in Feb/March) with Valentine’s Day Massacre: “set aside lovey-dovey wine and chit-chat; choose beer, choose vengeance, choose rage.”
