At my recent show with Jill George sales of my series of satires made during lockdown had a surprising boom. The signature piece “The Battle of the Books” has now sold out except for a couple of artists proofs, both “34 Actors in search of a play” and “A tea party – you are all invited” are not far behind, but there are plenty of copies left of other classics from this period. Scientists, sports fans, artists and tin pot musicians, you are all there..
