• Landscape of Marriage – True Origins October 26, 2008
  The other night Rob and I were at a party with some of his friends. One of them remembered Rob had just made his stage debut in the short scene I wrote for the latest Me and Them production and asked, “So, how did the play go? What was it about?” Rob started talking about the experience while I remained quiet. He beams when he talks about it and I enjoy […]

• What next? October 9, 2008
  We’ve been getting some lovely feedback... Have further inspired current contributors... And have already been approached by a number of people wanting to contribute and participate in the next show: some very talented writers and directors; as well as a London theatre group who are considering partnering with us. Thrilling stuff. […]

As I mentioned previously Natalya and I’d worked on Getting Sam before, with her as Melly and me directing. However, the lead then was an actress called Jacqueline Rose. […]

• Dress rehearsal October 2, 2008
  Dress rehearsal last night was…a riot. In all (positive) connotations of the word. Jane had sent out two – capitalized, bold – emails stressing the importance of punctuality and surprisingly all seventeen people, arrived, at my place, on time, sets, props and costumes in hand – including the enormous dumpster Natalya had crafted out of wood - pumped up to […]

• A Good Day – rehearsal update September 29, 2008
  This weekend, we were able to secure rehearsal space at SVA, the School of Visual Arts. I work here and rehearsal space and equipment are some of the great perks of this job. Since I haven't been able to go to rehearsals during the weekdays, this was my first time to really get to see Laura and the actors working. […]
