Welcome to my podcast. As a professional actress, there are many roles I would like to play; and many pieces of creative writing that I would like to perform. Often however, the decision is out of my hands. So, I have decided to do something about it # An actress takes control! I am putting together a collection of poetry, drama and short stories - some in full, some simply extracts. All of which appeal to me. I may not have the opportunity to perform these pieces on stage or screen, but I can record them and share them with you - should you wish to listen to them. These recordings will be produced purely for pleasure. This is liberating, because I am free to select text which may not necessarily be obvious. For example, there are many wonderful dramatic speeches which have been written for men... I may decide to choose one (or several) of these, not to be controversial, but simply because they are well written. I'm not sure yet, but it's fun to know that I have the freedom to play any role I choose. I shall be happy to take requests. If you have a favourite piece of Classical writing (to ensure that the material is outside the restrictions of copyright), please feel free to suggest it. If I think it is appropriate, I shall record it. Rules of Engagement:
- Material submitted must be outside copyright e.g. Shakespeare, Sophocles (or many others)
- No sexually explicit or offensive material will be accepted
- Material must be approximately 5 minutes or less in duration (extracts are a good idea; or short stories can be serialised)
