I’m about to embark on a 49-show tour of Idle Women of the Wartime Waterways – an Arts Council funded double bill with writer/performer Kate Saffin. Although I’ve spent many holidays travelling on a 70ft narrow boat, this will be a very new experience! I will be blogging about it on the Alarum Theatre website www.alarumtheatre.co.uk so may go a little quiet on my own blog.
To find out a bit more about this work, see/hear these interviews:
A BBC London interview with myself and Kate click here
An interview (just me) in Theatre Weekly click here
And have a look at the Alarum website which has all the dates and lots of information.
Wish us luck, and I hope to see you at one of the shows!

Good luck for tonight, Heather, or should that be ‘break a leg’ 🙂 x
Thanks Polly! x
I’m thrilled and delighted to hear about your narrow boat tour. It sounds cosy and exciting and I’m sure you’ll be driven and inspired by its drama and serenity.
I think of you often and your ‘chicken’ poem to me.
Have a fabulous adventure and hope to hear you on the radio again in Cornwall soon.
Lots of love
