From tomorrow (Friday 1 June) wise readers will avoid the royalist malarkey and go to the Holloway Arts Festival instead. The full programme of events is here and if you can only give it one day go to Platform on Sunday the 10th of June between 1pm - 7.30pm and see:

Tickets: £7 / £5 (concessions)
Age Range: Suitable for 14+
Location: Platform Theatre
The acclaimed writer and deadpan comedian A.L. Kennedy shares how she
coaxed, found and nurtured her voice. In this riveting solo
performance, Kennedy will make connections between writer's different
voices beyond the page, the voice in which they carry on their own
interior narratives and voice with which they address the world.
Kennedy's The Blue Book is currently longlisted for the Orange Prize for
Fiction.

An irreverent black comedy performed to a continuous soundtrack,

the bowels of an unknown building. With only her wits and a bottomless
suitcase to hand, Miss of the Lane will endeavour to entertain against
all odds.

Cockroach, Fox, Pigeon, Mouse and Squirrel – that feature in the
animation film. Children will be creating a comics with dialogues. What
would happen if Cockroach woke up in the future, not in 2012? The
storylines will focus on the friendship between the animals and their
friend Jessie, while we’ll discuss how the present differs from the
future. The workshop is aimed at children of all ages.
| *I'm so glad this exists that I almost don't want to point out that 'moment in time' is an unnecessary repetition (where exactly can a moment be if not in time? It's like saying 'place in space'). Almost, but not quite. Pettiness & inquisitiveness are the main forces driving me. | |||
