I am a writer, director, artist, filmmaker, poet, performer, raconteur, playwright, mental health consultant, music-maker and public speaker. I am certifably mad and proud to be so. Sanity is such a boring disease. My art and my madness dance along a razor blade with the sun. Since the publication of The World is Full of Laughter by Chipmunka in 2002, Dolly has published a further three books - I think I have about 8 published books at the moment; taken on performance roles at The Young Vic, the Royal Festival Hall, and around Europe; undertaken a poetry tour; won a poetry award from Poet Laureate Andrew Motion; directed two plays and several TV films; and performed spoken word at City Hall and Oxford University. I know I have a unique way of expressing myself so have been asked to do a bunch of radio. I am actually making a success of being mad.
