My days are either manic or very slow, and today was a quieter one but it meant I could write - I've really got something special going on with this new Christmas piece, it's developed into something a lot more than just a bunch of monologues.
Wrote for 4 hours, and then caught the train up to London for the West End performance of HOP. It's a small venue in an outstanding location (right near to Leicester Square tube), but having woke up to a message saying we'd only sold 2 tickets in advanced, I wasn't feeling overly optimistic. 26 turned up in the end, which in a 40-capacity space felt more than fine. The show was lovely tonight - my little team of Rachel, Matt, Dan and Mel worked a treat, it felt more controlled than normal but the audience were totally onside within the first 10 minutes and the rest of it flew by.
So, I'm now technically a West End performer. Awesome! Got a pizza baguette to celebrate and was home by midnight. Lovely night, my 'career' feels okay on nights like this.
