Still barely with a voice. The timing of this is horrible...as much as everyone seems to have it at the moment. Did a couple hours work for the new place - did it from home as per my contract and merely involved me watching videos about the product so I can get a clear idea about it. Can see myself getting used to this...
Then took mum shopping - everywhere, mostly for various dog treats from specialist places. Crazy, but that dog is all she really has now. There's a lot of sadness in the air at the moment, like a second wind of grief.
Lounge show at Phill's; big audience, not sure why, and generally quite lovely throughout. The thing I liked about them was that they were so honest - I mean, they didn't laugh for the first 8 minutes or so but that's entirely justified. Big laughs in the middle, and, for the second night running, slight confusion by the disjointed 'punchline.'
I was full of cold and could barely talk at times, it was both a hindrance but also, in a strange sort of way, made the audience like me even more...possibly out of pity.
Either way, drove home feeling like shit, but with a head buzzing with ideas of how this script can be improved. It's a really good show on paper, these improvements will help kick it in the right direction.
