Summer, and some work – some of it paid!

I’m playing for another silent film on the Kennington Bioscope website in June. In a programme of films by the French film director who worked primarily in the USA, Alice Guy-Blaché, one of the key women filmmakers of the silent era.

I’m on Cousins of Sherlocko. This is a 10 minute comedy crime caper.

We finish recording the present series of I’m Sorry I Haven’t a Clue this Friday in the BBC Radio Theatre, another comedy crime caper. We’re all socially distancing, and the audience is on mics in their own homes. This seems to work well as a medium-term solution, though we all miss being in front of a live audience in a theatre. The series is broadcast from June 14^th.

Italia Conti’s acting course has invited me back this term to oversee the music for two 2^ndyear actor-musician productions. While they don’t run an actor-musician course as such, the students are expected to use whatever musical skills they have – or whatever skills I can discover in the students – to complement their acting. The shows are A Monster Calls and The Three Lives of Lucie Cabrol.
