The programme note
The Man Behind the Curtain
Ted. John Small to the taxman, CannaBusTeD on the marquee. A registered-blind songwriter from Hartlepool who drove a night bus through his own head for one album — and parked it outside this theatre for the second.
He can't see the stage. That's why nothing on it is for show. The songs out front are love the way it's performed; the songs backstage are what it costs when the curtain's down. Same heart. Two shows.
Made with human direction, machine assistance, and hand-finished intent.
I loved you best by stepping back.
There's a book on the seat.
Two novellas set in the same town as the songs.
Free to read online.
