Scenario is delighted to announce that Fiona Howe’s singer-songwriter album Madness, Death or Poetry is now available on all main digital platforms, following its release at a successful launch event at Scenario Films on 6th July.
The album features twelve poetic songs about love, creativity and the word, scored for piano, voice and strings. The title track refers to an old Welsh legend about the beautiful, mysterious mountain Cadair Idris in which anyone who spends the night on the summit ends up mad, dead, or a poet, such is the terrifying, transfigurative nature of this craggy, mist-swathed monster. We’ve climbed it a few times and always been changed by it in some subtle way. Madness, Death or Poetry is the story of one of those climbs.

We are also excited to confirm publication of Gareth Jones’s expanded poetry collection Ynyslas which is now published as a Kindle e-book and paperback version available directly from the Scenario Shop page at https://www.scenariofilms.com/buy-ynyslas/.
Following its rebroadcast on Radio 4 Extra earlier this year, the BBC’s 9-part dramatisation of Gareth’s historical novel Lord of Misrule starring Philip Madoc has been released by BBC Studios and is now available from Audible at https://www.audible.co.uk/pd/Lord-of-Misrule-Audiobook/B0CX2X2Q42.
‘Sworn allegiances, cruel punishments, broken hearts, shattered dreams and ancient magic make for an utterly spellbinding listen in this full-cast adaptation of Gareth Jones’s masterful novel.’
The novel Lord of Misrule is currently being adapted by Gareth Jones as a 10-part TV drama series and the pilot episode will be available soon.
Fiona is currently developing the music and raising finance for the screen adaptation of her novel She Danced, as well as producing feature film Dead Men’s Music and composing the music score for The Bellgirl.
She continues to teach producing at the London Film School and her next Line Producing workshop will be in October 2024.
