The Whirligig of Time

Blimey. An awful lot can happen in nine months. Another Shakespeare project, on ‘The Tempest’ this time, with Mountview postgrads; re-staging two one-person shows I directed; impro teaching at Drama Studio. These months have been mostly teaching and directing – most recently on Max Dickins’ third play, the powerful two-hander ‘Kin’, which is playing in Edinburgh as I write. But there’s also been R&D at the National Theatre Studio on Nina Conti’s latest project, ‘Dad’s Play’; trips to Amsterdam and Brighton for my first motion-capture work (A virtual reality environment launched this autumn, details still hush-hush for now); and to a very sunny Rome for more teaching with international schools. Somewhere in there I’ve done readings at BAFTA and Shakespeare’s Globe as well. No wonder the house is such a mess.
