Banbury's annual Michaelmas Fair arrives on Tuesday, October 14 , for three days.
I was set to interview Keith Allen in the run-up to Treasure Island, but he cancelled. I mention this non-event because, Allen not being someone I naturally associate with children’s entertainment, my central question was going to be: “Who’s the target audience?” The poster gave little away. Was it even to be a kids’ show? Would it be dark and/or adult? And how would he be playing Long John Silver? Straight-up murderous or loveable rogue? Having seen the show, I still don’t have my answer. What’s more, I’m not sure the production team has it, either.
Charlotte Keatley’s gentle, nostalgic and also vaguely feminist drama My Mother Said I Never Should was the latest production by the ever-reliable Oxford Theatre Guild.
One of Sunday’s newspapers reported that Michael McIntyre was on the point of signing a six-figure deal with the BBC and looked in line to succeed to Jonathan Ross’s Saturday night TV slot.
Being someone who works from home I’d have to admit that my tendency to be easily-distracted is not always conducive to being productive.
November 18 2008 . . . Oxford United fans may come to remember that date as the day Sam Deering came of age.
