Jo. Thank you for this. I’m not invited to any press nights any more and it’s strange but gloriously liberating. I dream very big at the moment. Literally,while I asleep I dream. Great glorious dreams of theatre. In the meantime, I’m having some good creative thoughts and a clear aim for what I believe in. Will email you the thing I’m currently striving to do, as I think it might make you happy. Love you for writing this piece. Dream big.kx
Hi Jo, I too was at the Lyceum on Thursday night, and I wish I h ad known you were there so that we could have met up. I find it frequently distressing to read your blogs (if that's the word). You seem to be living with a high level of dissatisfaction, frustration and even unhappiness. I am reluctant to go on, since this is a public post. On the positive side, I was taken aback to discover that you have written over 100 works for the theatre, and the ones I remember from my days as a critic, for example Losing Venice and the Portuguese play (my memory is wonky), are now a fixed part of the Scottish theatre legacy. Coraggio! Joe Farrell
