It's not like I've not had anything to report . . . it's just that who has time for updates . . . sorry to anyone looking to follow.
Happy Days is going very well. It's a lot of work especially for Bette, but it's gonna pay off in spades. The tech team is all in place; and they are all people who worked on Old Hickory six years ago! How cool is that. The set designer is going to have much more to do this time around that's for sure. We met with him after rehearsal on Sunday and talked about his ideas .. . he owns a lovely place in the Catskills and we met in a room with windows on three sides all overlooking mountains . . . it was the most striking room I've ever been in . . . absolutely beautiful.
We're doing full weekends every weekend up in Woodstock and then on August 1 we move up there for two weeks. It won't be play time but it is going to be an unforgettable experience . . . and how do I know that? Because it already has been!
It's almost exactly a year since we started this baby and we're kind of at that stage where it seems like it'll never end, but it's going to get real crazy now as time accelerates and we get there before you even blink . . . or that's how it will seem.
Can't wait.
I sent something off to a competition in Chicago. They wanted plays under the theme 'Killer Instinct' so I sent my solo piece (which until yesterday didn't have a name) about the guy who leaves his love in bed while he goes to buy bread and wine . . . only we find out she is chained there . . . and when he gets home she has escaped! Anyway, I called it The Rumpled Man and sent it off. We'll see what happens.
Still thinking about new pieces . . . things are starting to fall into place, but more on that later (possibly much later).
Ciao for niao.
