A little pressie for you all before we publish on Friday.
This is a filmed rehearsal on Act 3 Scene 2 of Edmund - Son of Gloucester. It was created in late 1995/early 1996 for the Waterside Theatre in Stratford Upon Avon so they could check we had the chops to perform in their lovely in-the-round space.
In this scene Robert Addie plays Soldier, Aidan Herd plays Spit and Adrian Ross Jones plays Edmund. It is a comic scene in which Spit tells the Soldier of Edmund's acts of derring-do.

Back in 2013 - 10 Years Ago on 19th September, Kev KThomas Oyston and I met in the flesh for the first time to launch "Tales from the Black Meadow" at Reading Library. It was a packed event and one that I look back on with real fondness. I have been enmeshed in the world of Black Meadow since then with 4 books, 4 albums and a host of events that explore this strange place and its phenomena.
To celebrate this I am publishing "Tales from the Black Meadow - The Play" on Tuesday 19th September. Back in 2017 I conducted a daft experiment, taking a coach load of students from Reading to Caedmon College in Whitby to perform the play for the first time in one day. We travelled across the Black Meadow through the mist to get there. It was subsequently performed at South Street Arts Centre, Reading and the Bradfield Greeker. It is like a fever dream now but hopefully this little book captures some of it.
I am really chuffed that Bob Fischer, who also attended the premiere, has kindly written a foreword.
Celebrate with us and get lost in the mist.

The Black Meadow Archive - Volume 1 - Coming Soon
Due for release in January, this new collection of short stories by Chris Lambert will explore the mysteries of the Black Meadow in the greatest detail since the disappearance of Roger Mullins in 1972 caused all research to cease.
Following extensive research and battles with Whitehall this book is finally complete and promises to be the most extensive exploration of Black Meadow lore yet.
More details to follow.
The book will be released with an album of the same name by Castles in Space.
