OUATITN: First ever reading

Postby Ian » Mon Oct 29, 2007 6:24 pm

The Pegasus Theatre, who are hosting their Philip Pullman fundraiser on November 17th have updated their programme including what he will be doing. The evening apparently will include:

Pegasus Theatre, Oxford wrote:a reading by Phillip Pullman from a, yet to be published new work


I would have to assume that this will be the first public reading of Once Upon A Time In The North...

Worth snapping up the remaining tickets perhaps, for those of you that can.

Read the news article on the homepage here.

Oh My God. I wish I could afford tickets, for one, and besides I wouldn't be able to get there anyway.
Hush, the babies are sleeping, the farmers, the fishers, the tradesmen and pensioners, cobbler, schoolteacher, postman and publican, the undertaker and the fancy woman, drunkard, dressmaker, preacher, policeman, the webfoot cocklewomen and the tidy wives. Young girls lie bedded soft or glide in their dreams, with rings and trousseaux, bridesmaided by glowworms down the aisles of the organplaying wood.

I shall be there (in order to avoid being square) and nervously anticipating what PP has to say. Hopefully the reading will be a good 3 or 4 pages minimum. *crosses fingers*

Just don't hold it out so everyone can see...then set off some fireworks as a distraction and take teh oppertunity to photograph his papers.

Perhaps we should work on some sort of small robot capable of sneaking into readings and I don't know...premieres, say...and recording whatever happens to be taking place :shifty:

Hope this is still true, almost 3 weeks on! ;)
