I am a member of the Lace Market Theatre in Nottingham and have acted there for about 18 years now since I moved to Nottingham to do a degree in the performing arts. This December I am proud to say that the company are performing in a stage production adapted and written by me of Charles Dickens 'A Christmas Carol'and it is on in a month's time. As you can imagine I am very excited about this and I have been watching it evolve from the page (it took three months to adapt) to the stage. As I write today, this coming Monday will be the first time that the cast and director and technical folk have an opportunity to use our actual stage to rehearse. As the writer I have been to some of the early rehearsals and agreed to some written changes (nothing major!)and for a week or so have taken a back seat and let them get on with it.

If anyone reading this lives near Nottingham and wants to see the show here is a link to the Lace Market Theatre website. The matinee has sold out already!
