Sam Neill - a great actor, and so very insightful and intelligent, too. Used to love following him on the old platform. I think The Omen 3 is where I first saw him (when I was far too young to see such things) and he was so good. Delightful in all kinds of roles.

Two more strange and unusual previews tonight: brilliant Rob Kemp brings us Beatlesjuice, the Burton/Beatles mashup you've all been waiting for, & XS fave Hannah Platt brings us her new show Cult Classic. All that, plus our own cult hero @tobyhadoke.bsky.social - tickets at wegottickets.com/f/17342

This is a great list, featuring many of my favourite writers (incidentally, also includes a story featured in Best of British Science Fiction 2025, which I edited 😊).

I had a great time running the Experimental Stories workshop at @cymerafestival.co.uk! I put together a reading list of the stories I read in preparation, so thought I'd share here for anyone looking for stories breaking traditional storytelling "rules"! ✨ lyndseycroal.co.uk/2026/06/19/e...
