From New York to Watford

Back in 2009 I received a rejection letter; a very nice 'Dear John' letter, but a rejection letter all the same. The BBC had passed on a radio play I'd written depicting the last ever meeting between John Lennon & Paul McCartney in New York in 1976. I mention this only because I received a text from James yesterday with the following flyer attached.

In his WhatsApp missive James said - "Dad, didn't you write this play fifteen years ago?" Indeed I did, James. Indeed I did. Which is why, a week on Wednesday, I'll be sat in row G of the stalls at Watford Palace Theatre making copious notes. And muttering a lot.

  1. You have the time-stamped proof on this blog if you need it... I really hope you don't!

    1. The only thing I can think of right now is how the play starts - what's their 'in'? I must admit, I'm really looking forward to seeing it!

  2. Take them to the cleaners, John!
