Victorian Writers Then & Now

Sixty reflections on modern life, written as a nineteenth-century author might have written them, each beside its modern translation.

‘Both Lilac Yosiphon and Thomas Finch have superb projection, an easy going and relaxed acting style – and neither is afraid to break the fourth wall to talk to their audience at certain moments. Both performances are sincere, honest and truthful.’

★★★★★ · David Rumelle, RemoteGoat

‘There’s No Place Like and Althea Theatre really captures the spirit of the fringe: creating meaningful, bold, and thoroughly enjoyable theatre.’

★★★★ · Grumpy Gay Critic

‘This show communicates an incredibly valuable lesson and one that larger audiences probably need to hear.’

A love of language, stories, and all things classical.

I read French at university, spent my Erasmus year in France, and began teaching English there. Ballet, music, art, French cinema, and period drama all find their way into my work, for I believe a story is often the finest vessel for a message.
