Bookish! The Dairy Book of Family Cookery and Tales Of The Unexpected tonight 7.30pm at Rye Books!


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!

    • It happened again tonight. This time a group of kids ( I hate saying that, because it makes them sound less intimidating than they are), threatened to throw a water bomb at me. When I dared them, they started lobbing them. Then they started saying they were going to kill my dog and one of them jumped over the fence of the Japanese Garden and took a running kick at my dog, who got out of the way. He jumped back over the fence, then came back, came within a meter of me and threw a water bomb really hard at me.  I can't be sure it was exactly the same crowd as last time, though I suspect the male ring leader could be.  The police came and were amazing - as was the park warden - and are fairly confident of the identity of one of them and think they may have tried to arrest him before.  There were maybe as many as 15 of them, aged 16-18, all Caucasian, girls and boys (girls being just as aggressive as the boys). The ring leader is a slight man, dark hair / eyes, possibly with facial hair about 5'6", petite, wearing an all-blue tracksuit.  So please be careful when you're in the park around 6.30 / 7pm. The local SNT have been informed.

    • But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did!
    • But it was under our electoral system in 2019! This must be part of the right-wing media conspiracy that did for Corbyn....;-) Corbyn was very closely allied to Unite and Len....
