Well it’s been two weeks since Pub Quiz ended. I thought I was going to be sad when the penny dropped that it was all over but I had such a positive experience and ejoyed myself so much that I have yet to feel sad it is over. I would love to see Pub Quiz [...]
I am going to write about the play now the dust has settled and the experience of seeing it produced but I wanted to write about the experience of being at Northern Stage. I should have done this before but last week was a blur of visitors, performances and the bar. This was the home [...]

REVIEW: Pub Quiz, Customs House, South Shields, until Saturday
This is yet another occasion that we can proudly reflect on the huge amount of theatrical talent we have in the region.
As part of The North East Theatre Consortium, the Custom House with New Writing North present a [...]
In an earlier draft of Pub Quiz I had written a monologue for the character John. It was the director’s idea to turn this into a song which John plays on the juke box and then sings along with the rest of the characters oblivious to the whole thing. I wrote the lyrics which were [...]

Again I am slacking on the blog. The truth is, without something to bitch and moan about I have little to say. The play is going really well, the Newcastle dates sold out two weeks before the show, the reviews have been positive, the audiences fantastic and I am hugely pleased with it all. I [...]
A quizzical look at life in the pub
Published on 18/04/2008
PRODUCED by New Writing North and directed by Psyche Stott, Pub Quiz by Carina Rodney made its debut at the Queen’s Hall, in Hexham.

Pub Quiz adds extra date as it hits the road
We’ve decided to take a short break from the usual fortnightly newsletter because of the Easter break, so instead we thought we’d take the opportunity to shout about Pub Quiz by Carina Rodney, which opened its tour of the North [...]
