Precious Little by Madeleine George

What a fascinating play. We began rehearsing on Saturday. Great cast, wonderful design team, and being produced by the incomparable Clubbed Thumb.

Madeleine's script is so intriguing - her intelligence oozes off the pages in a great way. She's made some important changes and additions - and my sense is, she'll continue to change things in the weeks ahead until it all feels right.

Our time is very limited - we have only 100 hrs or so: a standard showcase contract. And there are schedules to juggle. Somedays, we rehearse 11-2 then others, it'll be 5-9. I am trying to find a way not to be driven mad by the odd routine. I know how important routine can be to me. But this is something different.

I had minor surgery last week - and I am finally feeling like myself in the room. We started a few days earlier than anticipated - so it all works out.

Cast is fab. Did I mention that?
