I see the news is already out, which is a relief. Yes guys, I am doing more theatre. Couldn't really say no to this one. My fingers are firmly crossed for this as it isn't going to be a pushover. A lot of people are huge fans of these books, quite rightly, but whenever that happens there is always the worry about transferring to a new medium.
We have some major assets on our side however: The writer Mike Poulton, The author Hilary Mantel, The Director Jeremy Herrin. THE CAST. I am thrilled to be working with this team. Ben is someone I have wanted to work with for quite some time. I think the last time I saw was around Christmas last year when we bumped into each other by chance & I said as much to him then. (A Christmas wish come true perhaps.) Well we will be working together over Christmas this year & as disruptive as that is to the festivities & watching some truly classy racing I think I have to say that I am a very lucky man.
Doing Latitude soon too. I see the notice for that is up already too. Street Cred or What?!?!
Energy levels are soaring as we near the end of our 2 year housing project. The sun is nearly out once or twice a day & the fields are flourishing. My heavenly Ajaan is so at home in his livery. My girls have a riding session with him booked tomorrow. I'll keep off his back tomorrow & just hug him instead. I have turned into a teenage schoolgirl. I spend time just being near him & hugging his neck. Not often enough actually. Been too busy. I hanker for it tho' every day. Helen, who looks after him is doing a brilliant job with hubby Elliott.
Radio play out soon as is the short film I was in earlier this year, with Tamsin Greig. Blimey, all happening.
Thinking about Tweeting soon. I think I may start over the next few weeks. I will let you know.
