Friday 22nd March

1ST PRODUCTION REHEARSAL:
 
Leaving the Green fields for the black cracked back streets of 
old London, returning to the scene of many a 1980’s rehearsal.
A row of old warehouses long carved & converted, compartmentalised 
into windowless boxes, carpeted walls. Fry-up pool table culture,
art prints of lipstick girls grin with plastic seduction, lazy boy 
sofas to languish in waiting & waiting & waiting. Not much 
has changed since back in the day, the luxury filtered down
& thinned out by the time it reached the bottom – the smell remains
the same. The real rehearsal is learning to kill time creatively 
& live with the curve ball, make it part of the show. In today’s 
example, the ball curves with a lack of sufficient plug sockets & 
the mixer blows up before we’ve even made a sound- nothing too 
extreme.
