Previews, interviews and reviews

Darwen Library Theatre
Our creative writing group grows from strength to strength and the quality of writing is excellent. Though the group dynamics change with each new member, Mary, Alice, Ruth, Audrey, Bill, Barbara, Anna, Sal, Donna, Maureen, Carole and Brian and John et al are proving truly collaborative and mutually supportive. We meet every second Tuesday at 2-00 pm prompt and recently enjoyed a talk from former TV comedian and BBC Radio presenter Jim Bowen. He too has courted a fair share of controversy recently, but on the day, speaking to sixty people, many of whom were aspiring writers, Jim pitched his talk at just the right level. Aware that the press were there to report his every word, Mr. Bowen talked about how he learned of his adoption and the mechanics of writing an autobiography. Right Place Right Time is a title worth looking out for.
New works:
Arts not admin we cry as we seek time to write. However, Time Lines, My Place In This Space and A Symmetry are works in progress now on the editing board.

It seemed to be the consensus between fans and artists alike that Darwen Live 2003 was the town’s most successful yet of its annual music festivals.
I heard great reports on many of the gigs staged, and I have to say the name of Gone Begging was mentioned to me so many times that I can promise you I will be seeking them out for a Back Stage Pass and exclusive interview for these DLT pages.
