BYT: Dates and Types...

…etting. Yes folks. I have just seen The Art of Contraception in all its typeset loveliness. It looks LIKE A BOOK. Who’d've thunk it? I’m well chuffed. Which must mean it is nearly ready to get printed and actually be a book. Out there. In the big bad world. Where you lucky people can read it, or use it to fix that wobbly table. Or look at it on your iPad. Posh.

I have more news. We are having several Bright Young Things book launches. In Wales and in London town. I don’t have the dates for all of them, but here are two dates for your diary:

17^th September SWANSEA. This is a three-pronged event of wonder that will begin with a book signing in a place I used to work, the beautiful Waterstone’s on Oxford Street, continue to another place I used to have an office, The Dylan Thomas Centre for the actual launch proper and finish off in an after party of some boisterous kind.

24^th September BANGOR. That is all I know. We are having a book launch somewhere in Bangor. It will be in the evening. James and Tyler will be there. I’ve never been to Bangor before, I like the name though, so yes, that WILL be exciting.

I shall also be appearing at Fair Play Festival in Cardiff that weekend, performing some poems.

Other launches in Aberystwyth, Cardiff and London TBA.

Yay yay hurray! Right, I’m off to see ace poet Joe Dunthorne read from his Faber collection tonight then I’m going to be the biggest kid of them all at Camp Bestival. Fun times.

Buzz Blog: The Passion | Stage Review

> REVIEWS THE PASSION | STAGE REVIEW BY SUSIE WILD ⋅ APRIL 27, 2011 ⋅ POST A COMMENT FILED UNDER MICHAEL SHEEN , PORT TALBOT , THE PASSION **** Various locations, Port Talbot Fri 22 – Sun 24 April Cast includes: Michael Sheen, Matthew Aubrey, Nigel Barrett, Francine Morgan and Matthew Woodyatt. Michael Sheen became a Messiah of his home town over the Easter weekend with his leading role in a 72-hour epic retelling of The Passion, yet is was Port Talbot that was the real star of the show. For the sheer numbers in the audience (6000+), and national and international press attention The Passion is an ambitious event sure to go down in folklore. Two years in the planning and several months in community build up, National Theatre Wales joined forces with Cornwall’s WildWorks to create a multi-platform delivery of an age-old tale co-directed by local-boy-done-good Michael Sheen and the innovative Bill Mitchell . In this version of The Passion, poet and author Owen S
