Le Navet Bete

'Tonight I need you to understand the difference between fiction and the truth. Tonight you will discover that Bram Stoker's Dracula, is in fact... fact.' Travelling across Europe, from the dark and sinister Transylvanian mountains to the charming seaside town of Whitby, Professor Van Helsing and his three amateur actors stage a life-changing, theatrical production of Dracula - hoping to establish, once and for all, the bloody truth. The result is a delightfully silly, fast-paced and faithful (-ish) adaptation by John Nicholson (Hound of the Baskervilles, Peepolykus) of Bram Stoker's novel, originally performed by physical-comedy theatre company Le Navet Bete on a UK tour in 2017. Performed by four actors playing forty characters, Dracula: The Bloody Truth is a full-blooded adaptation offering abundant opportunities for any theatre company or drama group to sink their teeth into.

This rather unusual history book tells the passionate and adventurous life story of the man who was probably the most significant Pakeha-Maori of all. Frederick Maning ended up in the wild Hokianga region in the 1830s. He lived with local Nga Puhi as their pet Pakeha-Maori, became as a rangatira, married a high-ranking Nga Puhi woman and produced four children. Maning was involved in the aftermath of the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi in the Hokianga area, and fought with tribal forces during the war in the North in the 1840s. Later in life Maning became an esteemed judge of the Native Land Court. In the 1860s he wrote Old New Zealand, which has become a classic of colonial literature. It contains unequalled accounts of Maori and New Zealand life during these times. Maning was also a prolific letter writer and John Nicholson draws on these letters, as well as interviews with relatives, to create a full account of this celebrated and sometimes controversial figure.

A humorous and satirical look at American government. Written to poke fun at the three branches of American government, Nicholson is not always politically correct. In fact, he recommends changing the names of the Republican and Democrat parties to the Wreckers and Decadents!!! Sometimes Nicholson laughs. Sometimes he cries. And sometimes he gets angry. But through it all, he examines important issues like health care, term limits, Presidential appointments, political campaigns and much more in a fashion not quite ever before presented. Nicholson concludes that our form of government would run more smoothly today if the founding “fathers” had included some founding “mothers” in those early deliberations when the U.S. Constitution was conceived. He even pokes fun at the fact there are no constitutional requirements to sit as a United States Supreme Court Justice!!!! Even though he is a man with only a room temperature IQ in terms of understanding our blundering national leaders, Nicholson offers his own brand of suggestions on how to fix the mess in Washington, DC. It is a ride you will never forget, and neither will the Wreckers and Decadents that govern us all.

For twenty-six years, John Nicholson was a vegetarian. No meat, no fish, no guilt. He was a walking advert for healthy eating. Brown rice, fruit, vegetables, low fat and low cholesterol - in the battle of good food versus bad, he should have been on the winning side. But the opposite was true: his diet was making him ill. Really ill. Joint pain? Tick. Exhaustion? Tick. Chronic IBS and piles? Tick, tick. Not to mention the fat belly and the sky-high cholesterol. His mind may have forgotten its taste for flesh and blood but had his body? Tired of being sick, John decided to do the unthinkable: eat meat. The results were spectacular. Twenty-four hours later, he felt better. After forty-eight hours he was fighting fit. Twelve months on, he had become a new person. He was first shocked, then delighted, then damn angry. The Meat Fix charts one man's journey to the top of the food chain, uncovering an alternate universe of research condemning everything we think we know about healthy eating as little more than illusion, guesswork and marketing. The body is a temple - but, as John Nicholson discovered, we may have forgotten how to worship it.

How a lifetime of healthy eating nearly killed me!

In Who Ate All the Pies?, the gonzo sports journalist explores and celebrates the things we love about the whole culture of the game, tries to explain how we got to where we are now and speculates where we the game is headed. Amongst other things, he explores the history of the football shirt in style and design; how and why sponsorship became the norm; the culture of food inside the ground, around the stadium and in the pubs and clubs, and how the culture of pies and the modern trend of fine dining changed the match day experience (and why prawn sandwiches are the perfect expression of the class-politics of football); why booze is so important to football; how football is used by people to vent their everyday frustrations and emotions and how this is managed by the clubs. He also describes the history of football on TV and how it changed perceptions of teams and countries (in particular, the 1970 World Cup TV revolution); the role of international football in national identity and the intricate complexities of being a Teessider, Northern and English, in that order!
