Hi everyone, reviews below! "Well I went tonight and have to say I really enjoyed it. I don't want to give too much of the plot away because it has more than enough twists and turns but you really will miss out if you miss this one. There were a lot of subtle lines and a lot of knowing snigger's from the audience and a fair few familiar faces as well. Come to think of it the lead actor did remind me of someone I used to see at ST a few years ago. Well worth going to see, its a small and intimate venue and I sat on the back row with a couple of trouble makers. Hopefully one of them will do a more complete review as a weblog later, her trade off for blagging a chew from behind the bar." David M "Excellent play. Just got back. Thanks fD for recommending it. Powerful psychological drama set amongst a series of interconnecting couples within the BDSM scene, all unfolding with lots of surprises and excitement. Jolly good acting and gripping all the way through. Thoroughly recommend it." Eddy d.2 "What an amazing play. Highly recommend it. Not just a good sub story but a good story, a good Dom story, and very intelligently written. It treats people into various fetishes as good human beings - it's just their families and careers that screw them up. Anyone thinking of going it ends Sunday. I was really impressed by the script and the brave actors. Don't know if any of them are into this but they acted like they were... !" denise "A Good Sub Story is on at the Unicorn Theatre in Kentish Town. I went to see it last night - and it was brilliant Scene related, but not just titillation: a real story with some twists and turns and excellent acting and direction. I thoroughly recommend it. It's on until the 9th. If you can get to it, do." frankDale

Hi everyone. Don't know if any of you turned up yet but the last week of this amazing play is upon us. The audiences have been incredibly enthusiastic and positive about it. It is on Tuesday to Saturday 7.30pm and the last night is Sunday 9th December at 6.00pm. Take a leap of faith - enjoy a play by a local writer about a sensitive provocative subject and have a laugh too. All the information is at the top of the topic. :)

and someone on Time Out. http://www.timeout.com/london/theatre/events/604770/a_good_sub_story.html Hoorah!

Marmora Man, sorry to disappoint. It's not about that at all.... Hope you can make it. I wrote it. My heart went into it. The actors have put their heart into it. It's very difficult to get shows put on and they're working for free and they are absolutely fabulous. :D http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/theatre/show-23378623-details/A+Good+Sub+Story/showReview.do

It's going well. Some audiences are bigger than others (theatre only holds 40). Come say hello to me after in the pub tho! Bit of a trek, I know. End Sunday 9th December. Maybe an EDF group theatre outing could be arranged! http://www.actprovocateur.net/home.html

So what did you raise it for then?

It's like saying Peckham or Motorbikes are dangerous and that all old people going out at night will be mugged. Can't stand these generalisations. It's also a class issue. My mate used to work at Chelsea Police station and the amount of streetcrime in posh streets round Sloane Square was as bad or good as anywhere else. It just wasn't reported. Also, define crime! In the posh offices and companies everywhere, crime is being committed when companies get out of paying taxes or create waste that is not recycled.... I'll get me coat.

Ummmmm Gary Glitter at Margate Winter Gardens. And my school friends the next day said they'd had sex with the band.... I might also have seen Osmonds or David Essex before that at Earls Court - can't remember, but I think it may have been the bad guy. Yikes.

I got given Two Fat Ladies CookBook for Xmas once and tonight on my evening off I cooked Duck with Grapefruit sauce and it was yummy. Don't often cook, not very good at it, but I can read a recipe and do what I am told so it wasn't rubbish.

Khewl Make it end of the week rather than beginning, as audiences are livelier. Dunno why! We end Sunday 9th Dec @ 6pm (and Tues to Sats 7.30pm) Tonight was me evening off and I cooked like a girl. Whatever that means.

Bacon sarnies? I'll be there. Now - can't remember who it was on 1st page but someone said Ayres is not as good as it was. Yes it bloody is. It's just more expensive. Price of raw materials and so on and like that there yaknow for sure but.... stuff is still good there. Only gripe I have is they don't do organic bread. But their stuff is still fabulous. What's wrong with ya!

That poor kid. Do keep us informed and if there are any members of the forum involved and reading this, do know we are thinking of you and wishing the lad well.

Where is that little icon? > copy the url, then click on the little icon that > is called 'insert url', paste url in and then you > are prompted to name it.

Police vans and helicopters and ambulances and rumours a kid was set alight. No news on the news yet. Anyone know?

I LOVE Ed Reardon's Week on a Friday. As a writer, with my mates who are writers, it is a MUST. But yes, I am a Radio 4 person too, thought mostly usually mornings. Only thing that gets me mad is that only religious people are allowed to have a thought for the day. If you are not superstitious or religious they think you are not worthy of a thought for the day. British Humanists Association lobbies tham about that issue. But yeah, I used to listen to BBC London Radio till itgot to being a talk radio show with whining people, and can't STAND Robert Elms, so now I play Radio 4 in morning and my own music afternoons.

Ummm a great addition for Peckham Rye, too :D Had a full vegetarian English there this morning 9.30am seeing off a fciend who had come down from Cheshire to see my play in Kentish Town...! She was mighty impressed with where we live, the beautiful park on a cold frosty morning, and the very wonderful welcome we had in the cafe. She had been one of those "London's too busy for me" people, but thought Peckham Rye was absolutely delightful and peaceful. And she loved the play ;) ;) Mellors Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > A great addition to East Dulwich, I wish them all > the very best.

Hope some of you will find time to pop up to Kentish Town and see this. Afterwards, sit in the pub and get over the shock (!) then ask a cast member for Sam South. I'll be there. Would be nice to meet you....

My partner cycles to work in Bromley from Peckham Rye. 8 miles each way, and takes him about 50 minutes door to door because, he says, he refuses to rush. He has been cycling since he was a little boy though we are both motorcyclists primarily. He has thighs like rock. It is so cool.... ;) I work from home mostly so try and cycle round the park a bit (and to EDF meetings....) and now shall cycle all the way to the cafe when I have time. Then eat some cake there.

Ladies & Gentlemen, Doms & subs, Tops and bottoms, WE HAVE A SHOW!

Thank you thank you. Some of my actors have never been involved in this, but they bloody are now. I would be so honoured and delighted if some of you would come. I shall be there every night. Who's the chick? Well she is none other than Lady Sarah of the FemDomSociety (dot com) and the artist she commissioned to draw her and her sub is SARDAX.com They both gave me permission to use the picture for the flier. Yes, do come, but leave the little ones at home.... Any questions, feel free to email me.

Thank you. Now where's those journalist reviewer folks from this site....

Hi all At last, and I apologise for keeping you waiting. We are now up and running and open Thursday. A GOOD SUB STORY is a play about an estranged father-son relationship, set against the background of people who are happily living in fulfilling Dominant/submissive relationships. It's their families and careers that screw them up.... This is not a kid's show, but an intelligent and controversial exploration of the people who find this way of life attractive. People like your neighbours, friends, doctor, lawyer, shop assistant, you? Details are: A GOOD SUB STORY Produced by Act Provocateur International Directed by Victor Sobchak Lion & Unicorn Theatre 44-46 Gaisford Street Kentish Town London NW5 2ED Opens Thursday 22nd November to Sunday 9th December.

Can we have one child free day a month? Goddess almighty how un-PC am I? I made that suggestion to some museums once, dead serious like, and the look they give you! hahahaahahahahahaahahaha

Hi - anyone got a TANGRAM (or indeed any wooden puzzle)? A Tangram is an old Chinese puzzle consisting of seven different shaped pieces that you put together in different ways to make lots of different types of shapes. ANYWAY does anyone have one we can borrow for my play? I know - I KNOW - but I PROMISE I will list this play in a few days. We had a nightmare problem with one of our cast and those who saw me at FHT will know what happened! We've just replaced his replacement! Anyway, what I can not promise is a credit / thank you in the programme as it may be too late. But a free ticket should be in order! I can pick it up tomorrow evening or Sunday. The bigger the better a Tangram! OR - any clever wooden puzzle. It has a ten second mention in the play. Thanks gang. Email me.

Depends on where you move to, doesn't it.
