'Hats off to you'


By way of whetting your collective appetites... a new pic! Well, today was dress rehearsal and both John and Brian were in high spirits. They were, no doubt, keyed up by the fact that during tech yesterday, they produced their best ever performance. Today was no different. The energy was there, the tension palpable. We tried out a slightly different entrance for Jimmy at the start of the second scene and, not surprisingly, John relished the challenge, making the action playful and entirely his own. What was notable about Brian's performance tonight was the way he managed to strike a balance between being wearily and impatiently aggressive and yet still eminently likable. Friday is the first time John and Brian will have an audience - in the shape of fellow actors from the cast of 100. It's going to be a big test... and I know they're going to knock 'em out!
