Entry for March 01, 2007

Click on the link for a visit to the comedy festival website, where you can get tickets for Match Play. Remember to quote "Playmatch" and you should get 2 for 1.
Rehearsals are kicking up a gear just now (although one of the cast is on holiday - mind you he isn't very good anyway so we won't miss him - and I understand they don't have internet access in Aviemore) and I'm liking the way things are shaping up. We're entering that slightly odd period in rehearsals, where my role as director gets less and less important as the actors begin to get an idea of what they want to do. There comes a point where I have to almost let go completely and just let them run the show a few time to get a feel for pace and timing.
I appreciate I'm being a bit wanky today, but I've still got the headache and I've had some pills. I will get back to sardonic form shortly.
On a completely separate note, I realised today that my old friend Iain who was at the Crieff holiday, did not actually set foot outside the chalet for the whole holiday (unless you count short trips to the verandah for a fag). He alone may be responsible for skewing the unhealthy lifestyle statistics for Scotland. If he ever emigrates, we may find the rest of us actually have a higher life expectancy than Norwegians.
