First rehearsal of "Hold"

Today was the first rehearsal of my (really quite short) play "Hold." If you're a regular reader, you may recall that this is the play that's getting performed as part of the Sydney Fringe; details on the actual performance dates and times can be found here.

I'd gotten to Sydney early (mainly to ensure I had time to get a special lunch: steamed pork buns, best I've ever had, from a little bakery in Chinatown — at only $1.20 each, they taste even better than they otherwise would), so I spent a couple hours walking around in the bright, relatively warm sun and peering into a couple of bookshops and getting progressively more apprehensive.

I needn't have, however. The actors are really excellent, the director is really excellent, my script is funny — and, what's more, even after they'd read through it a half-dozen times, everyone agreed that it was still funny! Apparently all of the eight short plays that will be performed as part of "Hi, How Can I Help You?" are funny, so you're in for quite an entertaining night, should you decide to go. And you should! You so should! Experts agree!

Congrats on your play being performed!

"Steamed pork buns."

Is it pork on buns of bread, or it is a little pig's butt cheeks, hot and steamy?

Sorry. That's how my mind works.

I'm not even sure I should risk answering that!
