...Like Show Business

I am a little later than usual updating the website as I actually went on a real-life holiday for a week. Only to Wales, mind, but I treated myself to days of scenic drives, beautiful walks, great food and drink and catch-ups with friends I hadn’t seen in real life for quite some time. All very much needed!

Before the holiday began, the phone rang with a bit of work for July, so I got as much prepped before packing the suitcase. I will be MD-ing Annie Get Your Gun - a one-act outdoor version - at Betley Court Farm near Crewe, and tickets are available here. It’s my first bit of live theatre since lockdowns began, and I can’t wait to get started, with rehearsals getting underway tomorrow!

Covid protocols are still very much in place, after the government delayed the final part of their roadmap by four weeks, with the aim (as I write) to remove all legal restrictions on July 19th, which also happens to be my 39th birthday. What a day of celebration that will be for us all! I am keeping all fingers crossed that theatres can reopen their auditoriums fully, and that self-isolation rules which are currently crippling productions are eased somewhat. Of course, with variants circulating, I just hope everyone stays as safe as possible.
