This play scores highly (review)

Jump to Comments

This is another review from Hexham which was pretty good apart from the author not enjoying or understanding the ending of the play, which is intentionally ‘gloomy’ but also I think, uplifting. However, it is still a good review and I said I would post whichever ones were online. John actually posted this as I am too stupid to link anything.

What has been really nice these last few days is the feedback that the producers have had emailed to them and comments and emails to me from various people and through various forms, some I know and more that I don’t. Last week I had an unexpected spike in my blog views for a certain band’s forum. This also generated some lovely comments and good wishes for Janice, so thank you ladies. Some of the comments were posted to my blog but some were a little long so I didn’t post them but have read them all.

This week has been a settling down for me and a sense of relief that the play is more than I had hoped and and that it has done well for all those who have invested time, money and energy in it. People are enjoying it and that’s all I could ever wish for. I’ve enjoyed watching it too and seeing what has been added to and layered within the script. Of course I see things now and then that I am not so keen on and script stuff I could improve but that is to be expected. I also have a real sense of gratitude towards the people who had the belief and will to make the play happen, even when I had my doubts and also heartfelt gratitude for the support of family, friends, colleagues and complete strangers.

The show opened last night at The Customs House and I’m going to see it tonight, complete with annoying cold.
