Hurray! I'm getting readers now! Welcome back Anne, it's been a while! And Christy, my friend from primary school, now back in touch from Australia after almost 30 years!
Today, we had our first day of rehearsals. Unfortunately, I had a bizarre accident last night where I fell down the stairs when I was taking out the rubbish - and promptly fucked my knee. So I was in agony this morning, but it seems to have calmed down now.
We had our read thru, with all of us there - Me, Matt, Kathleen. Maggie the director, Suzi from Oran Mor and the legendary Donny, who was on fine form. Our official photographer, Kenny, who's documenting the whole process, was also there.
The read through was great - hearing the characters jump off the page was a thrilling experience - Matt and I have lived with these characters in our heads for the best part of two years, but Kathleen Mcdermott especially exceded all our expectations. She nailed it.
The afternoon was spent doing some character work, and then we managed to stagger thru the first ten pages.
Tonight I was going to chill out but ended up driving my mate Jenni to Edinburgh, so I'm bushed!
happy valentine's day
