The best joke of the festival was life itself. When John Kearns asked an audience member to recount the ending of Raymond Briggs’ perennial tearjerker The Snowman they describe his death-by-melting as going “back to normal”. Kearns only needed a few choice words to extend the implication: the complete dissolution of the self and the black pit of oblivion that awaits us all? That’s us just going back to normal.

Ostensibly we’re here to experience the screenplay La Soupco, written by Howells at age 11. And we do. And we love it. Her knack for drama, pathos and comedy clearly showed itself early. As well as this seminal work, we’re treated to tangents and tales from 33-year-old Howells.
