Shakespeare and sunny days in Walpole Park

This week has already been great! Monday Chris Pickles and I sat down at his kitchen table and spent five to six hours cutting and reworking the script to Shakespeare's Keeper. I felt good at the end. I think it could be shorter, but I do think improvements have been made, and it is shorter. So, we will start rehearsing in a couple of weeks. The London run is still uncertain as to where and how long. But, Pickles is calling it a preview instead of an actual run. A preview to prepare for the tour in the Fall. Other than that I have been teaching and directing. The weather has been glorious as well. That's very good, because I've been riding the scooter I'm borrowing, so, no wet and super cold days on the scooter yet. The scooter takes my commute from two hours to forty minutes! In fact the weather was so nice today, I took my last two improv classes out to Walpole Park and we did an hour and twenty minutes of improv and ten minutes of a game they have invented called ultimate frisbee. Needles to say it was spectacular! It truly look like the inmates had been let out of the assylum for the day. Tomorrow I should be seeing an Alan Bennet play called Enjoy. It's playing in the West End. I've promised myself that I will see a play a week. Let's hope it's a promise I can keep. Did I mention I miss my wife in a previous post? If I haven't...I miss my wife!
