I was a middle-class kid growing up in a very working-class city, Newcastle. It was a great place for theatre, with the Playhouse and Live theatre. The RSC visited every year and I have a distinct memory of Kenneth Branagh in Henry V, seeing rain on stage and properly drinking the theatre Kool-Aid. But if the RSC productions I saw were a scented candle, Rod Wooden’s play Your Home in the West was semtex. I saw it at Live theatre in the early 1990s.

Usually, I’d go for a monthly theme, but in the spirit of February and trying new things (indoors) while the weather’s still awful, I thought I’d give you a selection of four books, from four different genres. That way you’re more likely to find the book for you. No pressure…Timecode of a Face by Ruth Ozeki Ozeki challenges herself to stare at her reflection for three hours. She details all her thoughts and feelings throughout these three hours.

Dad Joe was seemingly locked in the cupboard where the family kept coal, and physically attacked. Most terrifyingly, mum Jean and her teenage son Phillip saw Phillip’s sister Diane being dragged up the stairs, screaming. Afterwards, she had what looked like red finger marks on her neck!So, I can understand why Bil is nervous about these stairs. He now rents the house out to ghost hunters to spend the night, which is why I’m here, to record an episode of one of my podcasts.
