KISNER ROCKS

This is a brief sychophantic entry to sing the praises of my webmaster, Simon Kisner.

Simon is an old friend from university and we used to do those things that students do; nailing fresh fish to doorposts, taking pub signs in the middle of the night from freshly-filled skips, and making kugel. Ok, so things weren't so wild in Birmingham.

Mr K now works in the high-tech world of web design and has designed/built this site along with my other site at www.citydrama.com . Simon is the husband of Emma, father of Hannah and a very talented man. Check out more of Simon's exciting web work at www.simonkisner.com.

Adios.

If Drama be the food

If Drama be the food of growth, eat on

Jobbing actors have day jobs and one of mine is teaching
English and Drama at a residential unit for teenagers with
eating disorders.

The residents are incredible. Without exception, they are
intelligent and creative, and we continue to go on journies
that are emotionally revealing and positively challenging.
Tonight's drama session was no difference, and I have never
experienced anything like it in all my years of leading
workshops. But I won't bore you now. I'll elucidate in a
few week's time. Watch this space.

Performance: Battersea Men's Home We've

Performance: Battersea Men's Home

We've just completed a run of Battersea Men's Home,
a new comedy by Helen Grace. The play is set in a world where
women are self-sufficient and keep men as pets, if they are
able to domesticate them. A scary existence, but a fun play
and the Soho Theatre was a great venue as ever. And it used
to be a shul!
