Bedroom Farce

Next Monday (April 2nd) I embark on another adventure with Kenny Wax producing. BEDROOM FARCE by Alan Ayckbourne with Colin Baker and I playing husband and wife. Eating sardines in bed! Has it come to this? The tour opens in Bromley on April 26th and continues until mid August when I and my two sons will join my brother in the South of France for his 60th birthday. A week of my mad family all gathering in Bergerac, Heaven help us... I can't wait. But in the mean time there is mortgage to be paid and here is the tour route.

Finish Bromley on May 5th
May 7th - 12 Lowry in Manchester
May 14th - 19th High Wycombe
May 21st - 26th Belfast
Sunday 27th Dr Who Convention Belfast
May 28th - June 2nd Bath
June 4th to June 9th Llandudno
June 11th - 16th Guildford

week out
July 16th - 21st Truro
Sunday 22nd Dr Who convention in Birmingham
July 23rd 28th Oxford
July 30th - August 4th Cardiff
August 6th - 11th Glasgow
HOLIDAY for one week

Then who knows what is in store?

Next February I shall be touring FACE VALUE ... watch this space... and hopefully fit in a bit of telly between the two theatre gigs.

This year has been very pressured for me what with producing and performing and an extraodinairy learning curve... but now we have a good team together and the passage of the next FACE VALUE outing should be a lot smoother.

I am writing this from my aunt's sun-filled study, near stone henge. Don't you just love it when the clocks move forward? Balmy, barmy evenings on the way... thanks for looking in to my blog... Love Louise x

I think this interview with you is a marvelous testimony to aging with strength and grace (thanks TLC at dr.who-online):

We own several copies of 'The Gift of Dyslexia'. My brother, Geoff, struggled profoundly with it into his adult years, and Ron Davis has really changed his life. Geoff has incorporated what he's learned from 'Gift' into his music teaching, and as a result, is much sought after for working with ADHD and dyslexic children in the Boston area of Massachusetts.

He'll be delighted to know that his old friend 'Leela' supports Ron Davis!

Best wishes,

Shelley, Boston, MA. USA

Hi,
Really loved Bedroom Farce. You were all brilliant and so funny. Am also a big Dr Who fan - of your time in the show, I particularly love 'The Robots of Death' and 'Horror of Fang Rock'. I wish you all the best with the rest of the tour of Bedroom Farce.


Best wishes,


Jonathan Edwards (audience member for Bedroom Farce).

Lovely, as always. Too bad you don't tour the 'States. I don't make it to GB at all. Ah well, good luck!

Cheers, Paul

Hi Louise

My wife and I came to see you in Llandudno on Thursday and really enjoyed the play. As we had lunch on the promenade we saw Colin Baker walking across to the theatre wearing a cream suit and red plastic sandals!

Well done

Keith Alexander

Ah, the wonders of the Internet! I just finished viewing your first and last episodes of Doctor Who on YouTube a couple of days ago, and now here I find we share the same blog service!

I wish you the very best with your tour. Loved your exquisite work as Leela, easily my favorite companion of the Doctor's as of right now! Didn't know the Tardis had a pool until I watched "The Invasion of Time" this very week! You are a lovely lady.

Have a marvelous reunion with your family and please enjoy every minute of it! There truly is no greater treasure in the world than being with the ones you love.

Kind regards,

Joe

Dear Louise, remember you from buying house in Monkhams Lane from my husband Terry's parents.
Congratulaetions on all you have done and are still doing. A hectic life! Why not come and stay with us in the quiet border village of Trefonen near Oswestry!
Love and best wishes, Marion Betts

Hi Louise, just found your site. Great!! I've been watching Tenko on uktv drama. Haven't seen it in twenty years. Still as powerful viewing now as then. Just a pity Rose or Blanche didn't make it to the end. Nice to see you involved in Dr Who again with the audio stories. Amazing how that show never dies!! Best wishes, mark
