Among the early mostly very favourable reviews, this from Stewart Trotter:
Men sit round a table, drinking wine and talking about the nature of love - physical and spiritual. No, it's not Plato's 'Symposium' - it's Stephen Wyatt's beautiful, wry and challenging play 'Told Look Younger.' Three...
Stephen's interview about Told Look Younger is in this week's issue of The Stage.
Some excellent photos of the cast in rehearsal taken by Simon Annand.
Turns out the Prix Marulic got their maths wrong when counting the votes, and we really came second!
So a promotion of sorts! A little embarrassing for the organisers though...
Many thanks to Stephen Fry for his tweet about TLY.
We're crossing our fingers that he may also be able to make it to the show, film commitments permitting.
As of 30th May, 26 days still to go on iPlayer
All the important information about the play including booking details is now available on this website.

Very generous message from Michelle Magorian, the author of Goodnight, Mr Tom about The Shadow of Dorian Gray:

We're recording my Afternoon Drama about John Gray, the real life model for Wilde's Dorian Gray in BBC Maida Vale on 24th and 25th of March. It's directed by Abigail le Fleming with a great cast including Blake Ritson, Nicolas Farrell and Joshua McGuire. Very much looking forward to it!

Delighted to say that our Radio 4 production of Dante's The Divine Comedy: Inferno, took 3rd prize in the drama category of the Prix Marulic in Croatia last night.
We met up with our talented cast on Monday 11th for the photo shoot. The photographer was Simon Annand author of that marvellous book of backstage theatre The Half. Very much looking forward to the results. And to starting rehearsals on Monday.
Yesterday I received the final edit of my Afternoon Drama about John Gray, the model for Oscar Wilde's Dorian Gray. Very pleased with how it's sounding. It's a great cast in a very atmospheric production from Abigail le Fleming.
It's broadcasting on Radio 4 at 2.15 pm on Tuesday 26th May so please...
Just finished my work as Dramaturge on Krazy Kat's latest show Mattress,Mattress, a very Scottish version of The Princess and the Pea. A pleasure as always to work with Kinny and the team and it's going to be another great show.

Wonderful news! The Arts Council of England has approved a grant for the production of TOLD LOOK YOUNGER. All systems go!
