nice to have something regular to look forward to

[smcassey]

I'm not wrong in thinking that they will, at some stage, be posted somewhere on the forum, please? Won't get to hear them otherwise. Work interferes with everything!! S

[chatterbox]

Of course... Can't have Julian's ladies missing out on anything!!

I added The Voices in my Head to the audio files yesterday, and will put this on as we get them!

[goshandcrikey]

Typically I normally don't do tues at the theatre but someone's ill so I came in. I'm not happy now. Will look forward to the link

[tutt-sweet]

Well, just how terrific was Julian as the gay Director of Communications guy, Steve, in this excellent & very interesting play?! He plays the gay aspect just right...not too heavy handed like a lot of other actors may have done. I can't wait for the next episode, & this is from someone who has worked in central government & been thoroughly disheartened by the all the political in fighting!

Jonathan Myerson is a fantastic writer & I found this article , which explains more about his view of political life. Something very interesting if you read to the very end too?!! Pity I missed it first time round, in 2007!

Yeah I'm loving it too...just listening to Ep4 now.
ETA: Oh wow, he has a brilliant sort-of soliloquy in this!

[chatterbox]

Yes, I enjoyed the soliloquy bit as well. I got a bit cross when he got interrupted though!
