Gareth Gwynn Hasn't Fin-

From the Sagrada Familia to The Beach Boys’ Smile album, we can’t get enough of unfinished creative projects. Comedy writer Gareth Gwynn explores the allure of the undone.

From buildings such as the Sagrada Familia to The Beach Boys’ legendary Smile album, we can’t get enough of unfinished creative projects. Comedy writer Gareth Gwynn turns the 91Èȱ¬ archive upside down in an effort to deliver a comprehensive field guide to all things left undone.

We've all been there, haven't we? Things we set out to do, jobs half-done, exciting plans started with such promise, but are now left languishing in perpetual stasis. Is it all failure and frustration or might unfinished projects in fact offer an antidote to our completist society? Through surveying lesser known but brilliantly intriguing unfinished artworks, albums, plays, films, buildings and books, as well as his own side-lined projects, Gareth finds [INSERT WHAT GARETH FINDS HERE].

Featuring contributions from serial unfinisher and comedian Angela Barnes, expert journalist of the mind Kristin Wong, writer and performer Jae Broderick, ‘Smile’ obsessive and comedian Jason Hazeley, art gallery owner Chris Kendall and audio producer/reboot specialist Barnaby Eaton-Jones. A three-act philosophical foray into the world of the unfini
