What a brilliant evening at The Mill, Sonning, for the Laughs & Illusions show tonight! Absolutely excellent from start to finish, and as always, the acts were superb.
A huge thank you to Richard Pinner, Maddox Dixon, and Jasper Cromwell Jones for such fantastic performances—talent, laughter, and entertainment all rolled into one unforgettable night.
It was made even more special having two of my children there with me last night—something I truly loved.
My monthly comedy and magic show just keeps getting better, and I’m already looking forward to the next one in June!

FAREWELL ALVIN...
A wonderful Sunday afternoon spent at Chiswick Cinema (I made the start travelling from Leeds with 3 mins to spare!) where 2 screens were booked for a screening of the 1981 Thames TV film A Voyage Round My Father, starring Sir Laurence Olivier and Alan Bates, as a memorial to its director, the Emmy-winning Canadian filmmaker AlvinRakoff, who died aged 97 last October.
The entire audience then strolled back en mass across the local village green to the beautiful house he shared with his wife of 30 years, Sally Hughes, Artistic Director of The @millatsonning
Speeches and stories hailed the genius of this giant of film, theatre and TV, who brought a filmic sensibility to UK TV production - he loved long, long shots recalled Peter Egan, who worked with him over five decades -and helped kick-start the careers of stars including Sean Connery, Michael Caine and Alan Rickman.
KWPR was delighted to rub shoulders with Jeremy Irons, Sinead Cusack, Mark Curry, Michael Coveney and Sue Hyman and dear Sheila Hancock (who we hadn’t seen since working together on Grey Gardens and Harold and Maude).
During Covid Sally unearthed an audio cassette featuring 90 minutes of Alvin’s vocal notes about directing Olivier, who he recounted had trouble learning lines and was not terribly mobile through arthrirtis, and included some recordings of rehearsals. This was skilfully edited down to 10 minutes by Alvin’s favourite film editor, and screened as a prelude tothe film screening accompanied by a montage of stills and photo memories.
It was a joyous, uplifting afternoon to salute the passing a A Great Artist.
Exciting things coming for ‘Higher Power’ since working with Director, Tony McHale, at the @millatsonning theatre 🌟

Sustainability is at the forefront of The Mill, and it’s been exciting sharing the different steps we’re taking with you all. 🌿
One of the initiatives we’re proud to follow is The Theatre Green Book, helping us work more sustainably across everything we do. We recycle roughly 60% of our materials for sets, and wherever possible we reuse everything from wood, nuts and bolts, right through to small set builds. ♻
We’re committed to making conscious choices in every area of The Mill and continue to build a more sustainable future for theatre. #sustainablefuture #theatregreenbook #recycleandplay #sustainablymade
