Only a week to go andhaving run the show a couple of times through, it's about 20 minutes too long! Aaagh!! What to do now? Which bits do I cut? It's always the way that you have to sacrifice some of your favourite lines for some of the time saving. Do I rethink? What should stay and what should go? Do I keep my favourite funny bits or bits that I think an audience will find funny. And should I trim the "ranty bit"?
Some times I love the joy of creating theatre and other times it just goes a bit crazy. This is probably the strangest piece I've done. I mean first off it's about me and I try and steer clear of talking about me. I do! I'm not even fond of writing this blooming blog thing! Then it's about smoking and cancer which gives me a gut feeling that I could end up being a bit "controversial" whilst telling my own truth. Will it get an audience? Will the audience get it?
In truth the whole thing is an experiment and if it comes off, it will be great. If it fails then "Hey! At least I tried out something different again!"
