I was interviewed by Carole Rawley from New Life Church in Cambridge. I was there for their Girl Talk 2011 conference, where, incidentally, it was a great honour to meet and listen to Baroness Cox. She was SO inspiring, speaking up for the oppressed. She encouraged us that although we cannot do everything, we cannot do nothing. Wise words.

It was great to be asked questions about how creatives can be valued in church…

I would like to know whether royalties would be payable if some of your monologues were presented not just in a church related venue but also in a small 25-seat theatre, the home of Words UP, an english threatre cooperati cooperative. Audiences pay a small with a 50 / % split wiith the theatre, but this usually just covers costs..

Hmm, interesting one. If the audience is paying to watch, that does mean royalties are due, and these are not related to profit. However, it depends on the percentage of the work being performed that is mine – if the whole evening is solely my monologues then it would be right to pay a % of the box office receipts. However, if it is only a small percentage of the whole evening then I would only receive a small percentage of that percentage and would be willing to waive it for a non-profit event. Do credit the book though, in the programme or somehow, that would be great, thanks. I hope you enjoy performing them. If it’s a whole show you have in mind, drop me an email and we can figure it out.
