Today I actually was able to get out of bed and I started working on my treatment for my new musical — The Molly Downer Story.
My New Years Eve has been spending mulling this over and getting ready to really plot things out, ready to sit down with my composers so we can write the score and lyrics.
The story is about the last witch from #Brading on the #IsleOfWight .
It is a story that has consumed me for many years and it has been stuck in the front of my mind for the last month and needs to come out.
Stay tuned for updates — here is some teaser #artwork / #poster
What are you up to tonight?

It’s thought that the figure lampoons a gladiator (or venator) called "Gallus" since the name means "cockerel" in Latin. It has even been suggested that the figure lampoons the emperor of the #Eastern #RomanEmpire #Constantius #Gallus (ruled 351–354)
There is a bit of #Folklore that said the Cockerel Man is an image of a local god from the Isle of Wight; there is of course no evidence for this, just a bit of a fun, tall-tale.

#Friday gets it’s name from the #AngloSaxon #Goddess Frīg (Pronounced Free-ya, with a rolling r). She was the Devine queen, the Devine Feminine, Wife of Ƿōden (#Woden pronounced Whooden).
Island #folklore says that #Brading (below) was the site of worship for Frīg, and after the defeat of #Arwald, the last #Pagan king, the land was reconsecrated for Mary, and made the the mother church of the #IsleOfWight
On nights like this, Frīg still be walks the #wyrd
