Dear Subscribers on November 2nd 2022

My dear subscribers,

Thank you for being there. And thank you for keeping me going.

I need to write things, I don’t know why, and I can’t write for theatre just now because there is no work for me.

This really is a plague year for so many of us for so many different reasons and writing this newsletter helps me get through it.

I keep meaning to write less than 2 pieces a week, but things keep coming up.

I also seem to be performing quite a lot this November one way or another and I’ve listed the events below.

(I hope I haven’t forgotten any).

It would be lovely to see you at some of them.

Hope you’re well and happy.

Love,

Jo.
