London-based Barbe-play meet

My play "Killing the Captain" is going to be given a rehearsed reading (where actors use scripts and there's no sets or costumes) in London. To give you an idea, the play was runner-up in a playwriting competition and is about cheery things like death, war and responsibility. Here's the blurb:

KILLING THE CAPTAIN
"An anonymous war, an embattled and embittered platoon, and a commanding officer who is either crazy, suicidal, or both.
In the midst of confusion and suspicion three soldiers confront their enemies, both without and within.
When they fight for power, will good men still try to do what's right
- even if it happens to be murder?"

The venue is upstairs at the Horse and Groom pub, Great Portland Street, (7mins walk from Gt Portland St [Metropolitan, Circle, Hammersmith & City lines] and Oxford Circus [Victoria and Bakerloo lines] tubes)

The time and date is 7.30 for 8pm on Monday 17th March (over by 9.30)

The price is £1.50 - a measly trifle! (doesn't go to me by the way - goes to the company reading it)

So if anyone fancies seeing me and as many friends as I can dig out of the woodwork there, I would be up for a drink both before and after the performance. No need to reserve seats, just turn up.

Legitimate theatre eh?

I'm going to be in London that week, so might well come along. I'll polish my literary heckles over the weekend.

Good god woman, it sounds like Journey's End, transposed to Vietnam, on ketamine. That is to say, most excellent! Work's a nightmare, but I'll try to get along.

Whisky, since I've never yet made it to one of your thangs, I'm going to make this the one I get to.

So barring hell or high water, or life just being a pig, I will be there with metaphorical bells on (the kind that jingle in a way that you can almost hear!).

Journey's End, transposed to Vietnam, on ketamine.

Now that's an idea ...

**Bump**

It takes a lot of effort and guts to write a play and then get it staged, so come along and support the lovely Whiskey Priestess tonight!!!

See you there!

IF I can manage to be conscious at that stage of the evening... I'll be there. If not, then don't take it badly, WP.

Of course not. I will consider you as convalescing from your wounds.
