Ian is soon to be in a theatre play " Scenes from an Execution"

by Howard Barker

Fiona Shaw takes the role of artist Galactia in a major new production of the darkly humorous and provocative play.

Here is a link to the info for those lucky enough to possibly check it out: http://www.nationaltheatre.org.uk/shows/scenes-from-an-execution?play=1

He also asked on Twitter whether we like the beard or not.Certainly matures his look! (he's the one in the middle in case you wondered)

Thanks for posting this, following Ian now. Don't want to miss the big news.

Good idea, I'm already a Mark follower.

Augh! Rude!

They are together for over a decade, so no wonder! I'm sure Mark told him to post that! Bastard!

Ian now says that the news will hopefully be by the end of the week.

This is really exciting. Knowing Mark we're in for some surprise.

**Posted by Davina** September 23, 2012 3:10 pm

He now says the end of next week!

Now I'm indeed curious:

24 Sep

Ian Hallard � ‪@IanHallard‬
‪@Push_to_Shove‬ Series 3 is indeed happening but it's nothing to do with November's news.

**Posted by Davina** September 28, 2012 11:11 am

I saw that. I was wondering whether it might, just possibly, be some casting news?

**Posted by kazza474** September 28, 2012 11:18 am

Then that would be about Series 3; which he is suggesting is NOT the subject of his news.

Could be appearances or some other kind of promotional thing.

OR the best thing would be .., ..... nahh that'd be too good, I won't say that one .......

Someone on tumblr said this:

“November� makes me think - Children In Need? I can’t think of anything else that would fit as well.

They could easily do a 5 minute scripted thing - or maybe offer a trip to the set/filming as a sort of raffle prize?

(Though please not an auction - those so called “money-can’t-buy� auction things where stuff goes for thousands are great for the charity, true, but frustratingly unachievable for ordinary fans.)

Ian has said on Twitter that the news will be really soon. He's just waiting for things to be officially confirmed.

**Posted by Ivy** October 15, 2012 5:12 pm

Ian tweeted 3 hours ago:

Sunday 11 November. 3 pm. London. Official announcement to come this week and tickets will go on sale too. #thegameison
