On Walking Out

walking out.jpg

I’ve written another piece for the Guardian, after a few months’ silence. This is a response to Stuart Jeffries’s article  on why he walked out of Top Girls. I thought Jeffries’s piece was interesting and appropriately provocative. But what surprised me was that he didn’t just talk about the pros and cons of walking out but also felt informed enough to explain what the play was about. My article is really an attempt to unpick what I think is the mistaken view of theatre involved in that statement. It’s here

Inevitably, alongside some thoughtful debate, it’s already attracted a handful of hilarious and outraged combatants. Hold my coat, I’m going in.

You may be here because you’ve come across a book, or play, or article of mine and you want to know more. Maybe you’re a student or a colleague or a friend or an acquaintance and you want to find out more about me. Maybe you are gathering ammunition for a vicious ad hominem attack that will expose me for the charlatan that I am.  

If so, you’ve come to the right place. Feel free to get in touch.
