Today I was pleasantly surprised to discover the audio recording of “The Final Adventure of Frankie Fightwell” preview performed at the Blackshaw New Writing Showcase is featured in the latest Blackshaw Arts Hour podcast.

Episode 57 of the podcast can be found here, with Frankie Fightwell starting 26 minutes in. Having said that, the preceding review of “Fifty Shades Darker” is definitely worth a listen too.

Here are a few more preview images from “The Final Adventure of Frankie Fightwell”, the brand new play I’m currently developing with Blackshaw Theatre. These photos were taken at the Blackshaw New Writing Showcase.

On Monday night I attended the Blackshaw Theatre New Writing Showcase at the Hen & Chicken Theatre. Amongst other pieces, the opening scene of my new theatrical work-in-progress, The Final Adventure of Frankie Fightwell, was performed as part of the showcase.

Blackshaw New Writing Events always have an amazing atmosphere, and it was great to see the characters come to life for the first time. The actors and director did an amazing job with my script and I can’t thank them enough for volunteering their time and the effort that they put in.

I was very pleased with the audience reaction on the night – now I just have to wait to receive their written feedback in a few days! And then? Well, on with (writing) the show!

I’m very pleased to say that I’ve been shortlisted for the Blackshaw Theatre New Writing Showcase Award 2017. A short, work-in-progress scene from a new play I’m working on will be performed at the Hen & Chicken Theatre, London, along with entries from the other four finalists. The winning piece will be developed into a full play to debut in 2018. So if you’d like to see the first ever public airing of a scene from ‘The Final Adventure of Frankie Fightwell’, along with the other finalists on the 30th January 2017, then tickets are available here.
