Well I never........

As I begin my run at The Garrick Theatre in This House, who should I see seated in the audience...?????

Our glorious and indeed glamorous webmistress.   Well at least I think it is.  I am sure I will find out soon!   This gave me quite a lift really.  I had spoken to a lovely fan outside the stage door earlier, who had come all the way form Newcastle, and she said she read this website.  This obviously made me feel a little guilty about not contributing enough to it.  But then Jessika catches my eye in the first 5 mins of the play, and she must have come all the way form Germany.  Blimey!!  I will try to catch her straight after the show, and before I set off up the stairs for our 1st preview drinks in the Sir Kenneth Brannagh Gold Room. ( I mean, honestly).  

Relaunch of Edinburgh Napier University's War Poets Collection

The War Poets Collection as part of Edinburgh Napier University has been undergoing refurbishment works to mark 100 years since Craiglockhart Hydropathic was used as a hospital to treat shell-shocked officers during World War One. Books and other historical items are put on display within the university's Craiglockhart campus. A new bronze sculpture of Wilfred Owen which has been donated to the War Poets Collection by award-winning artist Anthony Padgett has also been added to the collection.

As part of the relaunch, a light projection, paying tribute to the building's history during the Great War, will illuminate the facade of the campus building from November 2nd until November 4th, 2016.
