FIRST WORD June Warwicks & Worcs Only.qxp_Layout 1 23/05/2016 16:20 Page 1 First Word Can fairy rave magic open Stratford’s ancient portal? A band of poets and adventurers are asking for help from mem- bers of the general public ‘to unblock a fairy portal’. Theatre makers including the companies Slung Low, Rash Dash, and the School of Night are spending a week at the site of ‘an ancient fairy portal’ in Stratford-upon-Avon’s Avonbank Gardens, creating and then performing a ‘magical’ ceremony. The fun notion behind the idea is that the world is in imbalance, with seasons altered and the seas rising, and that the portal- opening ceremony will restore the natural order of things. The participating companies will be offering visitors the chance to take part in all sorts of creative tasks. Activities include wil- low work, poetry classes, costume making, singing, improvisa- tion and writing workshops. There’s also the chance to dance around a bonfire at the Rash Dash Fairy Rave, as well as to enjoy the companies’ nightly performances, bringing together song, dance, drama, poetry and a mechanical dolphin! The free-of-charge event takes place at the Gardens from 19 to 25 June.

Then came the Comedy Store and Jongleurs and getting bottled off ta The unneT l, and then a regular slot on Radio 4′s Loose Ends, where he met Joseph Heller, Christopher Lee and Gary Glitter. He did 4 series of ‘The aM rk Steel Solution’, one for Radio 5 and the others on Radio 4, and a radio series about cricket, which provoked a whole page of fury in the Daily Express.
