Thread: My first play - Afloat, at Hull Truck Theatre

I'm super excited that my first play will be performed at Hull Truck Theatre on 23rd May.

If anyone is in Yorkshire that week, or lives within a reasonable distance to Hull, come along if you can. Inspired by a short story I posted in the Workshop some years ago, and set in a Flood Crisis lounge, it will be performed five years after my own house was destroyed by the UK's worst floods in history.

Congratulations - Have you persuaded John Prescott to grace the opening night? He needs his profile raising in his campain to become police commissioner...

That's great news, Loulou! Congratulations. I remember the story well. It's a bit out of the way, though, so I don't think we can make it. I hope you let us know how it all goes.

Mr Bloggsworth, you seriously read my mind. I met Prescott at his book-signing about four years ago and jokingly (at the time, though now it appears to have happened!) said he owed me and should come to mine one day. So I may yes contact him and invite him along. And might you be able to come?

Ah Mr B, how wonderful it would be to have you along! I will post any pictures or footage I get.

Video would be great. I have a friend who's involved in community theater, and they put some of their stuff on youtube -- although it really doesn't do it justice. Still, it would be fun to see!

Congratulations! I'm with Joe on this, would love to see pictures or a Youtube. How exciting Loulou!

Last time I lived in Gods own county was about 1949, though I spent a couple of summer holidays at sunny Cleethorpes-Next-the-Sea - if you consider a 2 mile walk to the water when the tide is out, next-the-sea!

I am just so excited to see something I wrote acted out!

Thank you Gumby, and I will see if I can record any of it, certainly. Are you on Facebook?

Eeh, Bloggsworth, Cleethorpes. I was there just last year. Very rundown now, sadly.

Very cool, Loulou! I am excited for you! Have you taken any part in the production process?

Hi alanmt! I will be there for all of it, if I want to. Watching rehearsals, doing rewrites, etc. Isn't that ace? Can't wait!

But do you have a megaphone and one of those folding chairs with your name on the back of it? Or maybe that's just for the movies.

I won't turn up if I don't have these things. Or a star on my dressing room door.
