A brand new Cosmic Trigger Play Newsletter from Meesh (i.e., Michelle Olley) is full of news. You can read the whole thing yourself, but here are salient news points:
-- There will be a "ritual mass burn" of money, Oct. 23 in London, details in the flyer above; and at this link. (Attending the event is free, but you are invited to bring cash to burn!)
-- A nonstop reading of the new novel The Sentence by Alistair Fruish, Oct. 27 in Northampton.
From the Fruish website: "The book is one long sentence entirely constructed of words of one syllable, with no punctuation. We have had very favourable comments from the handful of people who have read it so far. This is what John Higgs has said about it:
“Alistair Fruish’s monosyllabic vision is a trance-inducing ticket to an all too plausible near-future dystopia. It is a bleak, grinding, addictive joy that will restore your faith in writing. Absorbing, inspired and unlike anything you’ve ever read, The Sentence is a fully-formed celebration of the power contained in even the simplest of words.”
The reading will be conducted by Daisy Campbell, and Alan Moore is one the the readers (if the others are listed, I can't find them). Tickets and other details here. Tickets are about 5 pounds; other readings of the book are planned. One hopes the book becomes available in the U.S., sooner rather than later; if I can get details I will update this post.
-- The dream of bringing the Cosmic Trigger play to the U.S apparently is not dead.
From the newsletter: "Safe to say, there is interest in getting the Cosmic Trigger play over to the states. Mycelial spores have been planted and connections made that, with enough love and will, could result in making this dream a reality. More on this soon..."
