Website and Guardian

Hello,

Brief message to say I've got a new website (here). I'll still be using this blog to put up sketches and stories.

I also had a recent feature with The Guardian about immersive theatre and video games. You can read it here.

Back in the UK

Hey all,

I'm back in the UK. Now that I no longer have to negotiate the Great Firewall I'll be able to put more stuff up here.

I'm currently writing for a residency at the Victoria and Albert Museum with LIFT. We're keeping regular video diaries of the bits and pieces we've been playing with, which you can check out here.

Hello. Sorry for having fallen off the edge of the planet, been up to things in China.

Two little updates from the past months.

First, the lovely people at The Cadaverine went and published my story, 'Two Buckets'. Read it here.

And secondly, I have a show on in Dublin at the moment. If you happen to be around then get yourself a ticket. It's called Tongues of Fire and details are here.

I'll also have a new story up soon. Huzzah!

"During the Vietnam War, every respectable artist in this country was against the war. It was like a laser beam. We were all aimed in the same direction. The power of this weapon turns out to be that of a custard pie dropped from a stepladder six feet high." - Kurt Vonnegut
