Playwrighting, Teaching and the Politics of both. Monday, March 30, 2015. Operation Mobilise: A pause in the fighting. So, the big date is here at last. 30 March has always been our deadline for In Battalions: Operation Mobilise. I say paused because there will be a Part Two, but we'll get to that in a moment. But for now, let's enjoy the lull in the fighting, relax, have a drink and look back on what we've achieved. Let's all have a pint and watch the election. For an idea which was born in a pub. Horns...

Four months then passed and I chased him up about it on Twitter last week. He said he had responded on 4 July, but for some reason I never received it. Blogs I Keep M...
