Planning for the fall launch of The Year of the Flood and helping to create the book’s interactive website which will launch in mid-August. Both website and book launch will include fundraising elements for several environmental organizations. Twenty of the launch events will be staged readings, with three voices, narrator, and singing groups – music by composer and singer Orville Stoeber, who has also recorded a CD.
This news just in: Bishop Richard Holloway will read the character Adam One in Edinburgh; Diana Quick will be Toby in London, where Irina Brown will direct and Susan Coyne will read Toby in Toronto, where Alisa Palmer will direct. More details will appear on The Year of the Flood website.
