“Vegan” has become a loaded term. Utter the word in the 1940s, when it was coined by The Vegan Society, and you’d likely be met with blank stares. Drop the v-bomb in conversa­tion today, however, and you seem to awaken the inner caveman in anyone within a mile radius.

Stephanie Soper is like a migratory bird, flying to Phuket from December to March to get away from the awfully cold English winters and to absorb the balmy Southeast Asian sunshine. She has many hobbies, but ecclesiastical embroi­dery is her forte.

English speakers worldwide have heard the expression “All the world’s a stage”, whether they know it’s from William Shakespeare or not, whether or not they know it’s from As You Like It, Act II, Scene VII.

Phuket’s new family entertainment venue Blue Tree is taking shape in Cherng Talay, and there’s no doubt that it’s a colourful addition to the island.

Beethoven once said, “Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and all philosophy.” Bach’s view was that “Music is the harmony of God.” And all I have to say with my clumsy words is that music carries a magical power.

We are all creative crea­tures, it’s in our DNA. We want to survive, we got to come up with ideas and some combinations of peoples can get a bit out of control, tend to cause cha­os... that’s a good thing, it takes us into the abyss (I have yet to go there but it sounds cool).

They say in spring a young man’s fancy turns to thoughts of love. Well, in fall, or more precisely, September (since we don’t have fall here), a theatrical person’s fancy turns to thoughts of the new season, with new horizons, new goals, new plays, new styles, new things to try.

There are so many forms of live theatre and sub-genres of those forms that space would fail me to even just list them all here, much less add a description of each, so this month I want to talk about two closely related forms that I have been delving into extensively this past year in Phuket and on my travels to Dubai, namely Children’s Theatre and Story Theatre.

After finding a thriving theatri­cal community in Ashland, Oregon, I was on my way to Houston – that’s right, Hou­ston, Texas – a place probably considered by most to be a cul­tural wasteland, but they’d be very wrong.

If you recall, in my maiden article I spoke of one of my greatest theatrical inspirations: the Oregon Shakespeare Festival under the leader­ship of Angus Bowmer. Well, guess what? I’ve just spent two wonderful days there, watching a number of plays. In short, The Play’s the Thing! has gone international!

The joy of art, for me, lies in an artist’s ability to capture something culturally familiar, something known, and present it in a new and unusual way. There is endless perception-challenging fascination in discovering what they could see that I could not.

“There is probably no more varied a motley crew than those who people a theatre production. We could hardly be less similar except for our love of this art, so we learn to get past all those differences and down to what binds us.” – Robert Barton from Act­ing Onstage and Off.

My family home back in the UK is a bit of a… mixed bag, decoratively-speaking. You’ll find a painting of a faceless matador from Spain by the front door, a cat made of pine nee­dles from Australia on the landing and a fibreglass pig from I-don’t-know-where in the garden.

Mai Khao is one of few Phuket beaches that sea turtles use as a nesting spot. Between the Novem­ber to February breeding season, these incredible reptiles use the Earth’s magnetic field to navigate their way back to the very beach on which they were born and lay their eggs. A monumental commute and feat of nature.

‘Existence’: Artist Robin Gillow’s exhibition puts life in the picture
Monday 28 January 2019, 02:00PM
It’s been a while since Robin Gil­low last exhibited her drawings and paintings in Phuket. Well-known for her work both locally and internationally, ‘Existence’ is her first exhibition following a five-year break from painting after her husband Kevin, known on the local sailing circuit, suffered a stroke in 2014. Fortunately, Kevin’s health has steadily improved and Robin has once again been afforded the lux­ury of studio time in her self-designed container home.

Some of you will see ‘yes, and...’ and know immediately what I’ll be talking about in this month’s article. For those of you who are as yet uninitiated, I am referring to the foundation stones of one of my favourite forms of theatre: improv. Improv is short for ‘improvisational theatre’, theatre that is unscripted and made up on the spot. One of the most exciting things about improv is that no two shows are alike.
