Dundee Fringe: Dundee Playwrights Group Scratch Night

Had a great time at Dundee Fringe with Dundee Playwrights Group this evening. Huge thanks to Donna, Helen and Rosie for performing my piece. Here's a short video of part of it. The first draft of my play is now complete and I'm hoping to stage it in village halls next year.

Had a great time yesterday being interviewed by George McDermid for the Sonic Museum project. This is a collaboration between Fife Writes and Heids and Herts Scotland.  
  Had a great time yesterday at Battle in the 'Burgh 5 cheering on Team Fission. Exposure made it to the last 8 of the competition, which was an improvement on last year's event. Video shows Exposure winning against Shark bait in the first round of fights. All proceeds from sales of Captain Kit go towards funding replacement parts for the combat robots.
