Success

It has been a tio of triumphs so far and a another potential hat-trick of wonder to come. All the mini 1 to 1 shows have gone brilliantly, from the sneaky to the down right athletic in The Face Game, on to the unrelentingly abstact clown/oracle/spaceman wonders of The First Thing, and finally the joy and wonder of giving people free reign in Your Turn.

Tomorrpw will be a massive day for me, i'll be performing 3 time first a scratch of the middle bit, then a showing of 10 ways to Die on Stage, then following the feedback from the scratch an improved version of the middle bit.

I've just come back from a great scratch night called Prototype at the Tobacco Factory. I just want to say a bit about why I thought it was important and what, for me, it says about the strength of theatre in Bristol.

Right from the start, as the audience walked in, I was amazed at the number of people who turned up, I've done a mass of scratch nights across the country, including some of the most well know ones and i have never seen such a large audience, (later i found out that there were 148 people there!) 148 people, for a scratch night! I've been to scratches were there where only 6 members of the public in the audience and two of them were my mum and dad.

Seeing so many people supporting up coming, and unfinished work with their time and money (even if it was only £3 on the door) is really encouraging and it shows how committed and engaged the audience in Bristol is.

A series of big thank yous:

1. To Birgit and Sylvia for running a wonderful event...
2. The Cube for being a great venue and...
3. Everyone in the audience (especially those who found themselves slightly damper by the end of the show).

I had a great time and really enjoyed performing my show and seeing the other work.
