It's such a privilege to be working on this tour, although quite scary in some ways. Although we started in July, for the Olympics - not that the Olympics had any relevance, it just seemed like a good time to start - and we had a brilliant write-up in The Guardian, we've already changed quite a lot. In fact I'm re-writing the whole thing. And it comes with some sense of responsibility. I've just written one of the final scenes with Virginia Woolf and realise that apart from the difficulty of creating any sort of drama in the middle of a street in Soho, I'm making a few assumptions about her character. But then I suppose I want to create a drama, rather than an historical recreation...

I haven't figured out how to put comments on this blog, but I'd love to hear from you. You can email me at nick @ mavericktheatre.co.uk. Cheers!
