7 days to go....

Okay so yesterday we saw the sets for the first time at this slightly surreal place right in the heart of east London called Trinity Buoy Wharf. The fact that it was one of the wackiest places Id ever seen made up for the non stop rain and the slightly unappetising toilets. To start with there are a series of shipping containers-come-houses stacked one on top of another in a corner of the court yard. There is a boat located right in the middle of our workshop - yes, you heard me - and a micro climate which would see polar bears evolve to leave the womb with woolly hats on.

Nonetheless, I found room for a hot dog at the diner - American style so the bread was so full of sugar it tasted like a sausage, kraft cheese and onion croissant -and way too many cans of fizzy drink. One of these days im going to give up anything with the letters K and A written on it. Even if it's flavour is Karribean Kola or Black Grape. So if you do see me in a few weeks time carrying an axe and walking like a zombie you'll know why.

In order to stay warm Becca, Jared, Sarah and I decided to hide away in the diner to devise amid the giant bottles of ketchup and mustard and a mini juke box. We managed to be quite productive - which was either down to a 'secret' ingredient in the Earl Grey or Becca' s strength in the face of an almighty hangover - but getting our ideas on their feet in the actual performance space for the first time was really quite rewarding. We even finished half an hour early so that I could roll back into bed at 1 o clock and watch the latest episode of South Park. All in a days work people. All in a days work.



The sort of house that looks like
it escaped from a nursery rhyme:
