Story and Motivation

Welcome to my cozy little nook on the internet, where stories unfold, and words find their dance. Iā€™m Paul, though you might know me as Squirrp, which is where this blog gets its name. Iā€™m a writer with a deep love for unraveling the layers of every tale, especially those tinged with subtle queer nuances.

In August 2024, I had the pleasure of watchingĀ Northbound BoyĀ at the Kings Head Theatre in Islington, and it reignited something within me. The play brought back memories of a time when I was coming up to my 40th, meeting my partner, who was just like Rory in the play. The dynamic between Rory and Ken on stage mirrored our own, stirring something deep and inspiring me to dive back into writing, to explore the intricate threads of human connection once more.

In these reviews, I aim to offer not just critiques but also a glimpse of humour, heart, and a queer lens that breathes life into each narrative. Iā€™m here to celebrate the magic of storytelling and enjoy the journey along the way.


If thereā€™s a story, movie, or play you think I should dive into, donā€™t hesitate to reach out – Iā€™m always open to suggestions. So drop me a line at reviews@squirrp.com and letā€™s keep the conversation going.
