IMPORTANT PLEASE LISTEN TO THIS TAPE is a recorded piece of audio theatre. Presented on a dictaphone, we hear the voices of two women who have sent the tape to a third woman, explaining - only slightly apologetically - their reasons and justification for having executed her husband.
The piece was first presented as one in a series of theatrical interventions by members by Farnham Playwrights Collective as part of a one day festival at Farnham Maltings on 9 May 2009, then again as part of Kill no more pigeons than you can eat, a series of interventions by the Red Velvet Curtain Cult at Benjamin Franklin House, London, on 22 May 2009.
Performers on the original recording were Jo Bowis as Miss X and Kathryn McGarr as Shelley.

Collaborative installation
Polska by the Sea
An installation at Eastbourne Station as part of Eastbourne Festival, April 2009. Large banner portraits by award-winning photographer Lisa Barnard hung from the roof of Eastbourne Station accompanied by a rack of 24 postcards, combining photographs of domestic ephemera with interview texts by MCH, focusing on the thoughts and aspirations of Eastbourne's Polish community. A boxed set of the postcard will be available later this summer through the Lewes Live Lit website.
Other photos in the gallery soon.
