post-show

It happened - we finally did it. The first show of Other Things - but definitely not the last.
Only seven people turned up - Brenda, Matthew, Lucy and Rachel, Carol and Peter and Anthony.
I really hadn't anticipated so few people.
Then, it was going well and Stephen got to the last monologue - the Theatre one. Going well, and then he left something out!!! He tried to recover but it wasn't working, so he said 'Sorry, I'm going to start again', He recovered amazingly.
Things I am learning:
1. Other Things is about liberation.
2. Persuade Stephen (with others) that it doesn't have to be word perfect etc.
3. Let's play with the group - have fun.
4. Let's never use Walkley Community Centre again (they were fixing the heating just as the show was about to start)
5. Find a way to find 4/5 new performers....

Lucy taught me something about love yesterday....and not anger...
