Thanks to everyone who supported the event on April 17th. Frazzled is not the word – the calmest moments for me were, surprisingly, when I was on stage. The feed back has been fabulous. FROM WOMEN’S EYES – now to be called SHAKESPEARE’S MISTRESS will, in its next life, be 10 minutes longer, one more speech and a couple more anecdotes, and maybe a tiny bit more audience participation, then we’ll be ready to roll!

Credit is due to The Scandalmongers, who captured the imagination of 150 youngsters throughout the day, (a further gig for them to be announced soon), marvellous Simon James with his perfect mixture of performance and ambience, and Pete Searles giving us the history of his sex life. Thanks also to Trinity for their uncomplaining ‘free flow’ attitude towards the whole day – I hope we shall be doing much more with them, discussions under way.

Our confirmed up-coming performances are as follows:-

May 23rd At The Lamb in Eastbourne (www.thelambtheatre.co.uk) we perform IN CONVERSATION WITH AN ACID BATH MURDERER. The chilling true story of John George Haigh, who killed at least six people between 1944 and 1949. The nation was gripped by the trial of the self-confessed ‘vampire killer’. Now, you are invited to join him firstly in his workshop in Crawley (where he dissolved his victims in acid) and then witness his final moments as he waits to be hanged.

July 24th and 25th Under the banner of Sunday Drama College 23 teenagers strut their stuff giving a unique open air performance of A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM (pay on the door £5 only) at The Beacon, in Tunbridge Wells at 3.00pm both days.

July 29th a MURDER MYSTERY dinner at The Beacon (01892 524252 www.the-beacon.co.uk) back by popular demand, so book early.

August 1st LOVE’S THE THING – Jane Austen meets Shakespeare as part of the Eastbourne Shakespeare Festival, at The Lamb (www.thelambtheatre.co.uk).

Not a bad start for tlc productions eh? Again my heartfelt thanks to all who came to the launch, especially to Matt Evenden for his fabulous website design www.tlcproductions.co.uk
