Writer as Director
Well I am now directing my show for the sitcom trials and it is so much fun. I have this great British cast for The Same Paige. I never thought I could get a cast as wonderful as the one I had in Perth but it seems I have, so it is all just so exciting. Most of them are friends from the London Actors Centre where I spend a lot of time doing classes and arranging to meet people at the Two Brewers (pub around the corner). We are up in three weeks and had our first rehearsal on Saturday. It is interesting that people say writers shouldn’t direct their own work, but try as I might, I never seem to be in the position to be able to sit back and watch a show I have written (I am always either directing or acting in it) I think sometimes your vision as the writer is the right one for a show… Wish us luck!
