From Writer to Director…
Well its been a while since I blogged as things have been SO busy since The Same Paige went up in the Sit Com Trials at Leicester Square Theatre on 11th March. Show went really well but surprisingly we didn’t get through to the next round. I say surprisingly because the audience seemed to really love it (and in fact we won the audience vote). But to the judges it didn’t have legs so that was a bit of a bummer. I didn’t have a chance to dwell on the disappointment however as the producers encouraged me to direct another show that went up on 18th March, The Museum by Chrissie Bullock. A great surreal script which I love. Unfortunately tight time schedule (we only had 2.5 days rehearsal) meant some compromises had to be made and I don’t think the show saw its full potential, but I’m hoping that Chris and I will work together on it in some capacity in the future. So my transformation from Sit Com writer to director has now gone full circle with me not only directing my own, but also someone else’s show. Its been a blast and I thank Simon and Declan (producers) for the opportunity to be part of this great phenomenon which is the Sit Com Trials.
