The agony ...
.... of a blank Page
A number of years ago a
friend brought me a copy of
“By Grand Central Station I
Sat Down and Wept” by
Canadian Author Elizabeth
Smart.
The Book fascinated me –
my friend thought it could be
a musical or a play ?
I stared at it again and
again loved it and wondered
how it had been written and
how could it be staged.
I did not find a way but
slowly discovered my own
voice – and now I think this is
an answer – Elizabeth Smarts’
book is not for staging but I
hope this text finds the same
resonances and takes its
audience on a similar journey
into the heart in a theatrical
language.
Thanks
In particular to Jamie O
Connell my Editor, who has
made me examine every word
and idea and weight them up
his advice has been invaluable
Simon Says...
The game “SIMON SAYS” is
used in bereavement counseling
especially for children
When someone close dies
they may not have the words to
talk about their feelings – they
may feel -Angry –Guilty –
Frightened – Alone
Playing the game often helps
them ...
THANKS - to all at Project Willie, JC, Sean,
Stephen in particular and Brian Merriman for
believing in ONE and all at the International
Gay Theatre Festival
