25th February, 2009 - Ten Moments I Remember #3

Ah. You’re still with me. I get the impression that you might be in this for the long haul, but don’t feel obliged to stay if you feel like going out for a brisk stroll or something.

This time we’re in the staff room at my old school. I’ve just finished the run of the first show I directed – a ripped off version of “Little Shop of Horrors” which we’ve subtitled “Little Breach of Copyright”. And I’m elated. We – me and some folk who will go onto be my closest friends - are drinking champagne and enjoying some self-congratulatory chat.

Here we are then. Champagne in plastic cups. Just at the starting point. The point where everything is new and there are no anecdotes and no stories of old times.
We are creating future anecdotes, and we don’t even know it.
