BOOKISH! An evening inspired by a cookery book that's most unexpected.. Thurs 7th April 7.30pm


Recommended Posts

Bookish is a brand new project by theatre makers and performers Laura Mugridge and Tom Adams. It's five books, each inspired by a different book.


As part of the development of the project, they are offering customers of Rye Books an opportunity to see the first two shows, The Dairy Book of Family Cookery and Tales Of The Unexpected, both contain live, original music and brand new stories.



The Dairy Book Of Family Cookery.

Laura and Tom look at the classic 1983 recipe book, they both had it in their houses growing up, so made a sweeping generalisation that everyone did. The show will include an interview with the photographer of the meals, a report of when Laura and Tom went to a diary and and a blow by blow account of when Laura did a dinner party with only meals from the book.


Tales Of The Unexpected- Roald Dahl

This collection of short stories is dark, funny and,well, unexpected. Research so far has included bees, tattoos and taxidermy. Tom has also looked into what makes a good short story, and where Roald Dahl went for inspiration.


Come along on 7th April at 7.30pm to see these two mini shows by two award winning performers. There may even be wine, there'll definitely be a cake.


Free event, please email us at [email protected] to give us an idea of numbers!

    • That's a disgusting slur against an innocent driver who was probably just on their way to drop off freshly-baked muffins at an orphanage when they had to swerve out of the way of a so-called "cyclist", and anyway traffic lights are just a Marxist conspiracy by Southwark Council to slow traffic down and force people out of cars, so we're all better off without it.
    • Frothy coffee? Not really my bag. A double espresso and a Marlboro Red? It's the breakfast of champions. The only dark drink with a creamy head which should ever be drunk by a man of my age is Guinness. I've also become lactose intolerant recently, meaning I get very impatient around milk. You make a fair point, but those legal channels are available for them to recover their repair, and legal, costs and, as I said: "It's up to them if they [Southwark] want to do that, of course." There's three or four grands worth of Cat N write-off, wrapped round a post there (more, if it's broken down for parts) causing problems. If they can't be arsed sorting that, I'm not holding my breath. Even Southwark couldn't screw their numbers up enough to make shifting the post back through circa 15 degrees more than a couple of grand, so there's a drink in it for everyone. It's a bit 'leany' just now, yeah, but I haven't noticed anyone having to limbo under it to get to Superdrugs. Or, they could make a feature of it. Pisa has made a fortune out of not sorting the underpinnings of their tower. Let's say it's an installation by someone called, I don't know, Bangsy, and it's a physical reminder that SE22 cannot deny its proximity to Peckham, Camberwell & Brixton. It's about the only thing that would get me back into The Bishop since the many dark afternoons of the soul I spent with Clarence*, the world's most depressed Weimaraner. *RIP big fella. You were always a great listener.   Come on Spartacus, don't be shy. You know exactly where the Green Cross Code Man was in 1973: less than a hundred yards away, on North Cross Road. https://youtu.be/C-XwVVMiCO4?si=rt8kQllev0t1Lgdi For some years, I found it quite difficult to go into The Forrester's after many long afternoons of the soul with Dave Prowse* (The Green Cross Code Man). *RIP big fella. You were always a great listener.  
    • Loving the arm chair speculation on here  Blimey how long before this gets spun out to be a drug dealer welding a sawn off whilst driving away from a smash and grab at the coop cash machine flipped his car and landed on a bollard type post  Where's the green cross code man when you need him ?
