New headshots, voicereel on its way. Come on then, let's be havin' ya. 

You know what I was thinking the other day? A memory of myself flashed into my head, aged five, blonde ringlets, finger up nose really, really wanting my birthday to hurry up and thinking how long two days would take, and tugging on my Mum's apron and crying and crying. Of course, in a flash my sixth birthday was there and over. My Mum turned to me on my birthday and said ''you mustn't wish time away Maddy, when you're gro...

You know when you get to that stage and you think "right, I've got this idea... it's a really good idea. A really, really good idea. Now I've thought of it... that's one job done. I'll start working on it next week"

That week never comes. It's taken me three months to realise that. So, yesterday. I came in from work. I sat down, didn't even take off my coat, and I wrote. And I wrote. Four hours later I looked outside and it was dark and I realised I was cold. I was so completely immersed in wr...

So, here we are. 

That flabby mid-point after the buzz of a show and that tingly feeling that something good is going to happen.

Maddy's Many Mouths at The Canal Cafe Theatre on Weds August 3rd was a fantastic success. We sold out both shows and, although we were all dripping with sweat, the audience were great. Another big thank you to everyone who came along.

It was interesting to get feedback on my women, and, the moment that stole it for me, was over-hearing a group coming out of the show di...
