It's with a little sadness that after more than seven years, the Ayckbourn Blog draws to a close today.
With improvements and changes to the News & What's On section of Alan Ayckbourn's Official Website www.alanayckbourn.net, it has been decided to concentrate on a single source of news and articles regarding Alan Ayckbourn and his plays.
With the official website's ever increasing size and features, the blog is duplicating much of the material already in existence and the relaunched News page on the website will now take the place of the weekly blog updates with similar content and more frequent updates.
For those who visited the blog for its articles, existing features will be kept live on the blog as an archive but new articles as well as dozens of previously published Ayckbourn-related articles and interviews from the past six decades can be found in the Interviews / Articles section of the official website as well as within the sections dedicated to the various Plays.
I'd just like to thank everyone who has supported and visited the blog over the years and hope you've enjoyed visiting and reading the blog.
I hope - if you haven't done so already - you'll visit www.alanayckbourn.net where there are now more than 5,000 pages of material dedicated to the career and plays of Alan Ayckbourn and where you can find all the latest news about the playwright.
It's been fun writing the blog, but there's big changes taking places at the official website and I hope you'll join us there.
