Rob Evans . Playwright

Went to Cove Park to write for a week with the National Theatre of Scotland. I didn't realise how it would affect me. Wrote a new play and felt strange as the insides of my head seemed to expand into the massive space of the mountains and loch in front of my 'pod'. Dreamy.

Now I'm busy being a 33 year old reindeer in the Arches Christmas show. Mmmmmm.

Been working on an adaptation of Kes with Catherine Wheels in rehearsal for the last five weeks. We're just going into tech week now. This is the bit I get excited about, when the script is in place and the lush stuff happens. All the lights designed by Jeanine Davies, the fantastic sound by Danny Krass and the video projection by Jonathan Charles. And I think it's all going to make something quite special. I hope so.

It's a great way to start the day.

Finished the 2nd draft of Kes on Saturday. It is interesting. It is like a patchwork of this boy Billy's life. Back and forward it goes and slowly we all want him to just survive. Just keep hold of hope, but whether he will or not I just don't know. What a book. Read it if you have a few hours. It's still an emotional experience.


The show will be touring Scotland from 15th October including The Tron, The Traverse, The Lemon Tree and many many other venues.

I wonder if anyone wants to read plays on a kindle. Kappa is available here if you do.
