LONE NUTTER NO MORE!

I’ve been rather quiet on here lately but there’s lots to report, the most important news (apart from the fact that I did actually finish the script) being that I have a cast! I carefully avoided this topic when I didn’t have any actors because I didn’t want people to think I was just some lone nutter with a fantasy about doing a show in Edinburgh that wasn’t actually going to come to fruition. If that were so, it would be a very expensive fantasy as I have already poured nearly £5,000 into the project. This includes flat rental, the first two instalments for the venue, audition space, Fringe Guide entry and the few costumes and props I have bought so far. My two actors are Susannah Bond who will be playing Venus in her many forms and Will Mitchell as the many faces of Mars. Both have done shows in Edinburgh before so have a pretty good idea what they are letting themselves in for. The first read through went well and I am optimistic that the three of us will work well together and they will be able to turn my crazy fantasy into a reality. The Fringe Guide came out this week and my entry is all present and correct on page 237, nestling comfortably between The Vagina Monologues and The Virginia Monologues (Ironside not Woolf). The Fringe Guide can be viewed in page by page form on line this year too on the Edinburgh Fringe website.
