Cue of the Week: music from the score album for the film "Home Room". In the accompanying scene, Alicia Browning (Busy Philipps) contemplates her image in a bathroom mirror, having washed off blood from a tragic incident at her school. #filmmusic

This year at Edinburgh Fringe I was delighted to interview Hayley Canham about her fabulous show Sappho: The Poetess, as well as record spirited discussion about several Fringe offerings with the inimitable @MusicalTalkThos. All this coming soon via the @musicaltalk podcast!
