Another milestone with my play

Celebrating with a sparkling half strength bottle of frizzante

Today i went to the group i used to do some work with, to ask them if i could have their assistance to take part in my play.

I asked about 10 people in about 6 goes, (1 - 2 people at a time) explaining that I would get lottery funding and fund their transport and food, that there would be rehearsals Jan - March and performances April - May 2016,

I found quite a few interested people - i am going back same time same place next week or two to get feedback because I can’t raise the funds without filling out a form which details a meeting of people who will ‘benefit’ from it (service users ex homeless, in recovery from addiction, otherwise socially isolated,), I asked them to read it and get back to me in far too many words generally - i was nervous before but i didn’t realise how stressful it would be!

It was shocking!

same again for the next couple of Thursday lunch times (they meet for snacks / lunch)

So - now, even more so than for the performance in a way because that was just pro actors and 3 in the audience + my mum seeing it for the first time, now 10 more people have the script and are going to read it…

I must be mental
