One Down... Three to Go...

What a session... I arrived at the theatre yesterday for the world premiere of the play, full of trepidation. My mind was flying, but when John and Brian turned up all was well. Both were in high spirits - ready to give it their all. The audience - almost a full house - were assembled, and all was silent as Rob Howard's 'Drag' kicked in. As soon as Brian entered, pushing open the door impatiently, I knew we were in for a good night. Both actors were on top of their game, and there was a palpable sense that the audience was taken by both characters, being both moved and made to laugh in equal measure.

100, with which The Street Cleaner shares a bill, also had its opening night. Andy Jones made some really brave directing decisions that - coupled with five terrific performances, made for a fascinating theatrical experience. All in all, a cracking night of thought-provoking entertainment! All that is left to say is a BIG thank you to all who came to watch - I sincerely hope you enjoyed your night. And a great big thank you to both actors and crew... The job was fantastic!

And for all you unfortunate folk out there who are yet to see the play - tickets for the remaining three performances are selling fast! Don't miss out!
