I'm going to be in a play. It is 'As You Like It' by William Shakespeare with the IWSC Mechanicals.
The show is directed by IWSC member & award winner Michael Mullin and the incredible Performance Artist that is Georgia Prangnell and features an incredible cast of young Island talent.

Tickets are on sale now, and for the first time with the IWSC, you can select your seats. Please come and enjoy the great show.
Hope you all had an amazing Christmas full of fun and togetherness. Togetherness is something that can be achieved outside of Christmas and that is called friendship (Tenuous Segue, I know)
Friendship is something very important to me and always makes me very happy, Below is a collage of my friends from 6th Form (There are a few other things there too, they are in jokes, don't worry about them)
6th Form Friendship Group
I'm lucky enough to be part of 4 main friendship groups:
6th Form Friends
These are the friends in the picture, the ones who I see most days at 6th Form and a fair few of them are people I have grown up with, ranging from people I've known since Pre-School to those I've only known for a few months.
IWSC
Some of the people at the IWSC
These are the people I usually act with, some from the original IWSC company and some from the newly formed Youth division of the IWSC, The Mechanicals. I started working with the IWSC in December 2014 when they did 'The Winters Tale', I then went on to be part of 'Henry IV' & 'Henry V' and then 'The Two Gentlemen of Verona' with the Mechanicals. Meeting these people has led to a Trip to Edinburgh with one of them and now co-directing a play with one of them.
The B******
A screen grab of the people in the B****** Chat
This was the easiest way to collectively name them, it's the name of our group chat on facebook. Including myself, this is a group of 6 people. I met them all in year 8 at my first High School, and they are the people I have most kept in touch with from then
Friends that technically aren't MY friends
Anyone who has siblings, knows about these 'friends', these are the people who I consider as my friends although technically they are my Brother & Sister's friends.
So, that is a quick look at my current friendship groups (which occasionally intertwine). Once again, I hope you had an awesome Christmas and I'd like to wish you a happy New Year in advance.
As I settle in for a night of TV Christmas Specials I thought it was the right time to wish you all a merry Christmas.
This really is the season to be jolly and I hope you all have an incredible Christmas with those you love. I hope the food is awesome and I hope you get all you wish for and just generally have a brilliant time.
Now I don't want to go on for too long, and I'm sure you don't want an essay to read so this is it.
One last thing, My friend Georgia has just finished blogmas which would make for a nice read if you have time, you can find it here.
So, Once again....MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
Until Next Time,
Stay Happy,
Have an awesome Christmas,
And goodbye.
So this week, for some reason, I decided to become Band Aid the night before the video was due to go up...I so underestimated how long it would take to edit, it eventually took me 12 times to get the timings right.
You can see it here:
You may even take the time to notice that I even tried to copy the outfits from the original Band Aid video (And yes I know Bono doesn't wear the crazy glasses in the original, but he is known for them so well that I couldn't resist).
Now, let me tell you why this song in particular convinced me to do this video with nowhere near enough time to edit it well, and why I think Band Aid is the best.
'Do They Know It's Christmas Time?' is one of my two favourite Christmas songs, along with 'Fairytale of New York', these are the only 2 Christmas songs that I listen to any time of year (I actually listened to both of these in the airport when going to Edinburgh...in August) and that is why this is the song that I chose to do this week (I chose it over FTONY, because I thought it would look more impressive).
I have always loved Band Aid, in all 3 of it's incarnations however I will always say that the 1984 version will always be the best. I think that what Bob Geldof & Midge Ure did with this song is the most amazing thing in music history.
I hope you enjoyed and appreciated all the hard work that went into the video and I wish you a very merry Christmas.
Until Next Time,
Stay Happy,
Listen To Band Aid,
And Goodbye.
5 years ago today I lost a woman who meant an awful lot to me, Christmas 2010 was tarnished with a fair bit of sadness following the event.
This woman was called Lisa, she was my mum's childhood friend. She lived in Croydon and we didn't get to see her often, she was also very ill a lot of the time but she was always smiling and she was awesome to be around.
One of my fondest memories of her was when our family went to 'Chessington World of Adventures' because it was a really fun and ridiculous day. Because Lisa had breathing problems, it meant that we would have to stop every five minutes for a 'pit stop' which as much as it sounds like ti would be a bore and annoying for my younger self, was actually some of the funniest parts of the trip.
I have decided that Christmas should be a celebration of the people we have lost over the years and therefore, I am not as sad as I thought I'd be today, instead, I've used it as an excuse to remember the good times.
My message to you is to remember those you have lost over this festive period and celebrate the person you have lost and don't commiserate the fact you have lost them.
Myself, Lisa & My sister, Lauren
Until Next Time,
Stay Happy,
Remember those we've lost,
and Goodbye.
