Yay! Another book to go on the shelf of books of you!

*\0/*!!
Now that's a hell of a lineup.

It's pretty damn brilliant, isn't it? Oh, yes - Under the Rose arrived today, and it looks beautiful. Also - it's huge!

Congrats, Una. NewCon put out some great books. I loved Subterfuge and I'm eagerly awaiting Hutch's 'The Push'.

At this rate my Christmas and birthday list will be able to consist entirely of Books By Una* (assuming I count pre-orders as presents)

*Well, and the RSC Hamlet DVD. That's going to have to be a pre-order too.

It certainly is. 'Nuff respect to you all, and to Big Ian for getting you all together. I have a feeling Newcon Press is in the process of writing a very considerable name for itself.
Bless you for buying a copy of Under The Rose. You could have had one of my complimentary copies, you know; I got them the other day. I know it's a bit chunky; if it had come out when it was supposed to it would have been less than half the length, but it kind of accreted stories down the years as I met people. I didn't realise quite how big it was until I got the ARC copy.
It is lovely, isn't it? I've been very lucky.

Calloo callay!

Oh, fabulous! You've got one of the best titles.

[altariel.livejournal.com]

:-D And thank you as ever for reading.

[altariel.livejournal.com]

:-D

I like my title too although of course I pinched it ;-)

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Thank you Mike! I'm also really looking forward to "The Push" and in the meantime I have "Under the Rose" to enjoy.

Have yourself a very Una Christmas! Oh dear, thoughm I hope my gloomy fantasies don't spoil the festive spirit. At least there'll be Hamlet to, um, cheer you up ;-)

Aw, that is kind of you about the complimentary copy! I do like to give cold hard cash for books by friends, though! I've got a long coach journey next weekend out to Snowdonia (ten hours, eek), and this will be ideal for the journey. I'm so pleased for you that it's all come together at last.

Not till the New Year, there won't - it doesn't ship till January, presumably because (I believe) they're planning to screen it on BBC2 sometime over Ye Festive Season. (As long as it's not while Who's on BBC1 on Christmas Day!)

And yes, I do still want the DVD even if it's been on telly - the production company's blog dropped various hints about interviews, out-takes and all the usual goodies, so quite apart from supporting the RSC (and the cast, presumably!) it should be worth the dosh...

[hutch0.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I'm quite pleased it's all over, too. One day I'll tell you the full insane story, complete with swearwords. Thing is, after telling everyone I know to shoot me if I look like I'm even thinking of doing another one, I'm...thinking of doing another one.

Sounnds like it's going to Christmas Day, but I bet it will be in the evening. I can imagine the credits rolling on the Xmas Day special, and the announcer saying, "Switch over to BBC2 now and you can carry on watching David strut his stuff!" or something similar!

[azalaisdep.livejournal.com]

Oh wow! Thanks, I'd missed that - serves me right for not buying the Oxford Times this week! And I'm sure you're right - Who for all the family at tea-time, then incest, murder and mayhem for the grown-ups after the watershed ;-)

Interesting that Boyd says they "were some way down the road with doing Hamlet as a live broadcast earlier this year" - I wish they had found a way to do it, it would have been so fabulous for everyone who wanted to get a ticket and couldn't - but I do entirely take his point about thrust stagings being a lot harder to film than a traditional proscenium-type stage.
