Now that the script for the show is finished, I've been spending a bit more time working with Issam on the design for the (very minimalist) set. As ever, he's had some brilliant ideas, but I can't give too much away at present. So, if you want to know why I spent some of yesterday struggling with an enormous bandage and a pair of scissors, you'll have to come and see the finished show in July, or the 20 minute taster on May 8th in Norwich! It's not what it sounds like, honest...!
Issam does a lot of work with camera obscura (see above), and there's something very ghostly to me about images of ordinary places, taken upside down. You can see some of his camera obscura images of Cambridge here.

hey Helen, is your blog haunted? I thought I saw a reference to the Charcoal Burner but then it vanished into thin air! Not sure if he's a ghost at all but here's a picture http://www.grantham.karoo.net/paul/graves/charcoal.htm

Hi River! Whoah, that's spooky, thanks for the link. And the moral of the story is: don't play with hot coals when drunk... I think the reference you mean was on a comment to a previous post, not on one of my posts, that could explain the sudden vanishing act. Though I'd love to think my blog was haunted by some local spook...
