Life Works is an ad hoc, alternative and occasionally aspirational approach to everyday life. Drawing on a combination of sense, sensibility and ancient wisdom it shows the relevance of mythic themes and archetypal figures to the modern world. Jane Bailey Bain teaches mythology in West London. Her book 'LifeWorks' was published in January 2012.

Dream Dinner Party

I've just been to see Michael Frayn's latest play, 'Alarms and Excursions'. It's a pointed comedy on modern manners and so funny. He is such a clever and observant man: definitely near the top of my dream dinner party guest list! I'm inviting Saint Bob too, after seeing him on 'Top Gear' last week (eclectic tastes, moi) - self-deprecating but similarly very amusing. And that brainy bloke who edits 'Private Eye' from 'Have I Got News For You'. It might not be the most politically correct gathering, but if I'm hosting, the guests all have to be able to make me laugh!
