In Two Minds to be published shortly
Saturday 20th March 2004
The original script of Richard Harris’s In Two Minds, which premiered at the Theatre Royal Windsor back in the summer of 2001, and starred Helen alongside ex-EastEnder Marc Bannermann, is now being published by Samuel French. It will be available at their London theatre bookshop from the 1st June. The Samuel French website has details of how to order it, and a good outline of the play, if you are interested.
Site updates due
Saturday 20th March 2004
It has been noted that the CV pages have not been updated thoroughly, that some of the shots from the photo gallery are missing, and that some of the links on the thumbnailed versions are wrong. Some minor updates and improvements will be done on the site over the next month or so. Apologies in advance if it is down for any length of time.
Happy New Year
Saturday 3rd January 2004
A very happy new year to all visitors.
Helen’s episode of Midsomer Murders (the second episode of series 7, entitled Bad Tidings), filmed in the summer will be shown tomorrow at 9:00 on ITV1.
She starts work on a couple of episodes of Holby City shortly, and will also be appearing in a touring production of 84 Charing Cross Road (adapted by James-Roose Evans) from February until June.
Stay tuned for date, venue and cast info.
Publishing House Virago Press has a nice little page of information on the original text and its author, including an excerpt.
