| THEATRE LIFE: An Interview with Mark Stratford | 20 May 2025 | 00:26:18 | |
When I went to see a live performance of Mark Stratford's one-man-play 'Macready' at the Brockley Jack Theatre, I was highly entertained and learnt a thing or two so decided to have him as a guest on the podast. Mark speaks with us about the historic figure at the centre of his play, as well as delivering a fascinating journey down theatrical history. We also discuss the trials and triumphs of being a one-man researcher, writer, producer, actorDon't miss the top tips on how to plan your own tour for anyone interested in writing, producing, and touring your own one-person show. A BIT OF BACKGROUND Charles Macready was born in 1793. When his theatre-manager father went into bankruptcy and was thrown into debtor's prison, Macready entered theatre life in an attempt to salvage the family business. He went on to become a highly influential figure whose work helped to forge many facets of modern theatre which we often take for granted today. For example, he encouraged the proper design of costume and theatre sets to align with the playwright's intent; dedicated time as a director to the rehearsal of all roles even fairly minor ones which in the past had been overlooked; and made significant headway in distancing the profession from the hitherto unchallenged presence of brothels in most theatres. Macready also went on to be a close friend of Charles Dickens and is the true individual who inspired Dickens's 'Nicholas Nickleby'. Mark Stratford is simultaneously touring his rendition of 'The Strange case of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. D Hyde' through fringe theatres and hopes to soon develop a play which his wife, a fellow actress, can tour with him.

| A creepy, urky, toe curling full moon Halloween story for little kids and big ones! | 20 May 2025 | 00:57:46 | |
This story was recroded in front of a live face-to-face audience at Lakefest 2022: Pen & Parchment stage Warning! This story was created over many years of storytellings with disgusting audiences of snotty little children and shrinking, squirming grown ups. We are proud of that! This story is an adult free zone. Why? Because it is simply too scary, or too horridly disgusting, for most adults. We know this is true. Kids can handle it. Usually. Adults can’t. Mostly. There are very few grown who can sit through the full telling of this tale. Not without scrunching up their noses, or scrinching up their eyes, or gasping “EEEwwwww” or just saying “Yuk that’s disgusting” before the tale reaches its end. Very brave grown-ups may be allowed to listen, if at least one child will vouch that they can handle it. So now you know that, we can carry on... This is a folk tale for children, set once upon a time, in a place not so far from you. Meet the schoolboy Hunch - the village hunchback. Hunch lives in a small village surrounded by a tall forest. All the parents always tell the children, "Don't go in the woods!" When the children ask why, the adults always say, "Because strange creatures called Things live in there! We don't know what they look like, but we do know that anyone who enters that forest, never comes back"! Would YOU enter the forest if you'd been told that? Nobody ever dares go in the woods, because of the strange Things that live there. But Hunch the village hunchback is different from everyone else. He knows it. Everyone knows it. And his arch-rival at school - a boy named Tax who is best at absolutely everything - never fails to use it against him. Tax is Hunch's very own bully - you could say that Tax is 'King Of The Thugs' and makes sure Hunch remains miserable. Then one full moon after being bullied by Tax, Hunch gets so upset he runs into the forest. He can't help himself. He's not thinking - he's just got one voice in his head. It is saying "Oh why was I born me?" and blinds out all thoughts about his own safety. In this story where goodness receives its own reward, nobody expects the surprise at hand when Hunch meets the Things. He will never be the same - if only he can survive, and remember to say thank you! 10-Month Course in Ancient Tribal Medicine Stories, Guided Meditations and Shamanic Healing Ritual Pathways To Aid Pain Relief designed by The Myth To Miracle Academy.

| The People Born of Tears: a tale from Ancient Egypt | 31 Mar 2025 | 00:05:32 | |
First recorded on 22/12/22 in Sydney Australia to celebrate the Summer Solstice (longest day of year) and Europe's Winter Solstice (shortest day). Yet many of the ancient elders will tell us time is an illusion... what is real is change, like the passing of seasons. So I publish this on 31st March, 2025 to celebrate the illusion of time and the switching of clocks from standard Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) onto British Summer Time - giving us an extra hour of sun per day, via the simple mechanics of changing our clocks (even this is usually done automatically on digital devices)! So I invite you to travel back across the millennia to hear the Ancient Egyptian creation story of how the Sun God created the first people. 10-Month Course in Ancient Tribal Medicine Stories, Guided Meditations and Shamanic Healing Ritual Pathways To Aid Pain Relief designed by The Myth To Miracle Academy.

| My Maasai Journey Episode 5 | 17 Mar 2025 | 00:15:18 | |
TRANSCRIPT My Maasai Journey, Episode 5. My Maasai Journey, Episode 5. Recorded at night in Kenya, beside a roaring River. With the singing of crickets, which will form a background to this podcast recording. Day 9 January the 22nd, 2025. This day - this week in general - is largely dedicated to sitting under our favorite tree for shade called 'wait-a-moment' in the local tongue. It has thick leaves offering a nice canopy of branches, but beware when walking below it or laying on a blanket below. Its twigs often drop to the ground, carrying thorns as long, thin, and sharp as needles. These easily penetrate the soles of rubber and even leather sandals. We've been spiked more than once. However, these were not idle days of rest and simple daydreaming. We were so busy journaling that the morning soon became early evening. But,there were rare moments of lying on our backs staring up through the dense leaves. To stare at the shimmer of winking blue of the sky between the branches. It seemed, lying there in the warmth of the African Sun below the cooling shade, that the blue of the sky was now the twinkling stars of night and the blanket of thorn branches and green leaves above us was the dark mantle of the night sky. Here, the village sounds of our Maasai environment seeped around us - tropical birds singing and trilling, the laughter and play of small children whenever toddlers emerged from the large tin shed hut beside us that serves as a playgroup preschool for tiny ones, the occasional bleating of passing goats, the cluck of inquisitive roosters, or the roar of a truck or motorbike passing up the steep mountain trail. We whiled away several days, journaling our adventure and snatching in our enthralled spirits, the majestic theatre of Maasai village life - with no plan and no destination other than just being in the now. Except for, of course, the journaling, the podcasting, and other duties, which I'd agree to do long before I came to this Maasia village; the adventure you're listening to now was 15 years in the planning. This might seem like a long time, but I've been a full-time professional storyteller, working with indigenous cultures for 30 years, and I know that sometimes getting underneath the skin inside the core of an indigenous community takes a lot of time. A lot of building of trust, a lot of mutual sharing and understanding. The valley I'm now in with my partner, Nina - both of us Londoners - has not been visited by white people for, well, some say years. There are young adults here - there are even middle-aged adults here in this Maasai community - who have never seen white people in their village before. Imagine that. So, 15 years in planning to get this visit right is no great surprise when you put it into that kind of timeline and perspective. During these several days of whiling away our moments underneath the wait-a-moment tree and journaling and podcasting, Callum – who is Richard and Penina's 19-year-old son - would often pop by with some milky tea or for a chat. He's proud to be a good cook, albeit working with none of the variety of ingredients and spices that are readily available in the west.

| Matt Follain's 'Myth To Miracle' story | 02 Dec 2024 | 00:40:22 | |
You just can't keep some champions down! Matt Follain was a single father and pro-fighter, martial arts journalist and even featured in some martial arts films on the big screen. He ran a busy martial arts school and cage-fight team when suddenly his life was turned upside down with a horrific incident. A car sped over him and dragged him along the street. Matt sustained life-changing injuries including the loss of a foot. This led to daily chronic pain, long term hospitalisations, and a sense of despair over the loss of his identity as a hands-on dad and martial arts instructor. Matt discusses these themes, along with how he became addicted to the opiod pharmaceuticals prescribed by his doctors. Only when he had a seizure in front of his daughter did Matt take up the challenge to halt his addiction, then discover the path to a new life where breathwork and meditation helped him to regain control of his pain and identity. 10-Month Course in Ancient Tribal Medicine Stories, Guided Meditations and Shamanic Healing Ritual Pathways To Aid Pain Relief designed by The Myth To Miracle Academy.

| Looking back one year to Armistice Day 2023 Special: Peace Pigeons / Chapter 10 of my novel War Pigeons. | 11 Nov 2024 | 01:04:12 | |
This special edition of The Man From Story Mountain podcast carries a dual purpose: firstly, to pay my respects to those who fell in World War 1 as today (November 11, Armistice Day) marks the anniversary of the day that war ended; secondly, to continue playing my part for the ending of the conflicts which are currently raging in Gaza, Ukraine, and other arenas of war worldwide. Since this episode was recorded, the conflict has spread to Lebanon, Iran, and other countries; Korean soldiers have joined Russian forces in Ukraine. This podcast episode represents a stark warning that we forget history's lessons at our dire peril. It looks at THE Armistice Day of November 11, 1918 through the eyes of my historical-fiction novel 'War Pigeons: WP&Me'. The wonderful voice of narrator Rafe Beckley reads Chapter 10: 'Peace Pigeons' . This novel, written for young adults, was my attempt to celebrate continuing peace, and was originally published as a paperback on the centennial of the ending of the First World War. It follows a London family and how the war impacted their lives, Chapter 10 sees peace come at last and the declaration of the Armistice.
