"The prince of darkness did fail his MI5 background check yes, but I don't see how that's relevant here"
Can't stop laughing at Keir Starmer's defence being "I asked the Prince of Darkness 'are you telling me the truth?' and he said 'yes' and now I have discovered that I was LIED to by the Prince of Darkness! The Prince of Darkness LIED to me!"

Man dreams where an idea comes to you fully formed are such a blessing but deeply bizarre. Had to get up at 6am to write it all out immediately.

Man what a good night, it's my first time directing theatre and it's so much fun to get such instant feedback on your writing and direction from an audience. And to be surprised when a reaction is different or delayed is such a good learning experience. Working with a bunch of lovely people helps.
