Tenby Arts Festival 2015 was a great success. Rachmaninoff - Variations in a Life for which I wrote the script was well received. Plenty to be sad about but a few laughs too. My talk on Sarah Bernhardt called La Divine Sarah was also much appreciated. One person in the audience was kind enough to say that my talks were the best thing in the Festival - and I didn't pay her I promise.
We had talks on poetry, on the Moulin Rouge which got everyone dancing and on Venice with an Italian meal to enjoy afterwards. There were plays too - one about Mrs Beeton presented by Alison Neal after which the audience enjoyed a Mrs Beeton style supper and one about E. Nesbit author of The Railway Children. And we must not forget the Pint-Sized Plays which take place every year in various pubs around the town. Each one a gem of dramatic art telling a story in ten minutes sometimes to make you cry, other times, laugh.
We had a variety of concerts too - four hands on a piano, a flute and harp duo, the Tuxedo Jazz Orchestra and the Kanneh-Mason family who are semi-finalists on the Britain's Got Talent TV show.
