We’re sitting on the sofa, working, with the television on
in the background. There’s a programme on about brain surgery, which is fairly
distressing. Every time I look up, there’s something ghastly going on. One man
has about ten screws drilled into his head and is having an operation on his
brain whilst he’s conscious. Absolutely dreadful. I’ve never seen so many
stitches on the side of a face before. It’s also incredibly moving. A lad with
a fearful tremor has just cried for joy, because, after an operation, he was
able to drink from a glass for the first time. Sometimes we forget quite how
such small things can be so profoundly meaningful.
The emails went out last night with the results of the NYMT
auditions. I could tell because twitter immediately went crazy with most of the
cast of Brass messaging to thank me for casting them, which I thought was
rather sweet.
I have done little for the rest of the day other than sitting
at the kitchen table writing. I haven’t read a newspaper, or seen what’s going
on in the outside world for days. I’m so busy I can’t even answer the phone to
friends when they ring. It’s incredibly frustrating, but needs must. If I stop
now, I’ll never get everything done. Gosh, this is a dull blog entry isn't it? Apologies!
So pleased they were all pleased to be in your no doubt wonderful musical, love to you both and my apologies for any earlier potential gaffs, xx
