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!
