Oklahoma tour gallops on apace...

Hey everyone, well its been QUITE a while since I've managed to blog anything but suddenly I have a spot of time and thought I'd make contact with the outside world once again to give you all an update....

I'm still in Oklahoma!, touring up and down the UK playing my usual brand of psychopathic killer (Jud Fry) with one of the nicest casts I've ever had the pleasure of working with...and considering I've been doing this for 105 years, that's saying something! The leads are lovely and incredibly talented, the ensemble are fabulous and full of life and laughter, and the crew and creative team are gorgeous too...sounds like a Utopian job, eh, and if it wasn't for the fact that I am freezing my proverbials off in Manchester on a chilly October afternoon as I write this, it would be!

Life has been gorgeous to me recently - the season in Scarborough was a delight, both shows I did being met with massive critical acclaim (we got 6 stars out of 5 for one of them which was a first!), the panto at Cardiff that followed was great too and I met some wonderful people on both jobs - many of whom I am stil in touch with and one of whom has become my newest writing partner. I just finished panto in time to start Okey rehearsals and in between times I have been writing plays, musicals, trying to start tours of three of my shows, doing voice overs a-plenty and generally being a very happy bunny.

If I can find the time, I promise I will update this much more regularly now and hope the people that read the first couple get as much pleasure out of reading it as I do telling you all this stuff...

Panto this year is the Glasgow SECC by the way, with John B again - Aladdin this time, 3D Genie et al, so hoping for a lovely Christmas - I've already got a beautiul flat rented which sjoul give for a cosy time at least. As for January onwards...who knows at the moment...I may be directing but it's not tied up yet, otherwise I'm free as a bird as I haven't been able to audition for anything and the calls for next year haven't started yet!

To all those who made Scarborough, Cardif and the tour so lovely, I send huge and heartfelt thanks, along with apologies if I haven't been able to keep in touch or meet up as often as we woul have liked - you know who you are, and you are soooo missed!

Ever hopeful that I will speak to you all again soon
