This is a relatively short posting but today we received an email back from Simon Stephens who we are hoping to ask a few questions about the play, to aid our understanding in terms of our interpretation. Hannah also asked in the email if he would like to come to our performance...HE SAID HE WOULD LIKE TO IF HIS SCHEDULE ALLOWS. this is mental! suddenly my arguments concerning the writer in process are far more appropriate than i had first thought.
We were speaking to our cast about this on Saturday, me being one of them, and we all came to the conclusion it is unlikely he would come because he is surely busy busy busy and we would be incredibly nervous if this was to happen...and now it might. What happens if he does not like what we have done with his text? Do we care what he thinks?
More news on the communication with Simon Stephens to come soon!

p.s If Sarah our supervisor hasn't popped her little baby out by then and if she can possibly hack sitting in an audience being so heavily pregnant, there may potentially be a tiny arrival! Although it is very unlikely, my money is on Shanty Fiasco's performance...hows that for visceral experience in theatre!
