TOP STORY - REHEARSED READING AT THE ICA

a rehearsed reading of sebastian's latest play is taking place at the ICA as part of the accidental festival on saturday 24th may at 12:30pm.  

A couple of friends spend the last seven days of the world on the sofa, watching the news, reinventing chess and rewriting the rules for some of the other games in their universe: generally gettings things into perspective; at once paralysed and inspired by the 'overallness' of it all'.

"A Godot meets Rosencrantz & Guildenstern for the Facebook Generation."

ANGEL AS AN E-BOOK

sebastian's debut novel is now available as an e-book.  you can read the opening chapter here, you can download it as a pdf, and if you really like it you can even download the whole book.  

ANGEL tells the moving story of damion, a boy so beautiful that anyone who meets him falls instantly in love with him. gradually, his greatest advantage in life turns into his heaviest burden, and as he reaches adulthood, damion, in an act half wanton, half heroic, destroys what for most people - but not for him - has become to define his essence.  a classic tale, quirkily told...
