It was so exciting to come and see some of the stuff you guys have been up too,
after I have heard so much brilliant feedback from Cathrine Bailey. Who
when she first started doing your workshops, spoke of nothing else!

Being an audience member was an experience I don’t think I’ve ever had
before in the Theatre. It was exciting, and also kind of nerve racking
at the same time, perhaps this is because as an actor I could
understand how thrillingly scary this must be for all of you!

There were moments of incredible beauty during the performance, brought on by
the actors and their use of props that seemed to be very symbolic, and
reach me on a different level, than just consciously. In a similar way
perhaps, as I find watching some physical, and more absurd theatre
based work (something I m very interested in). For example, there was a
wonderful moment when Ophelia was laying out a roll of red wool, as
Hamlet talked of being laid in the ground. Suddenly the wool became the
image of Hamlet's carcass amongst the earth and worms.

There were other moments of course that I found it difficult to engage and connect to
what was going on, but this seemed to be the nature of such an
experimental form of Theatre. There was so much to think about and
discuss after the show, all of the above. Also that feeling of being
complicit in an entirely original moment. Like those things you find
spontaneously in the rehearsal room between two actors, that you then
capture, and try to repeat, night after night in performance. Finding
those moments of absolute spontaneity and unpredictability, is something
as an actor I always strive for, as I m sure we all do…… I better stop
there otherwise ill go on and on.
