May I refer to a previous post back in February in which I mentioned a play called How to Disappear Completely and Never be Found by Fin Kennedy.

The play was recommended to me by a friend who had worked with the text on a Contemporary Drama course at the NODA Summer School last year.

Well, at my Nuffield Theatre Writer’s Group meeting last night, I saw a copy of the script on the table in front of fellow writer Mavis who was sat next to me. Nothing unusual in that since at the beginning of most meetings we each give a quick review of the plays we have read during the past fortnight.

Before we all got started I commented to Mavis that I had recently read the play and how good I thought it was, and since I’d done some research on the playwright was able to mention a little more about the writing of the play, the awards it had won, and subsequent productions.

What I didn’t realise was Mavis knew everything I had to say about Fin Kennedy and his plays, and more besides - she’s his mother!
