all becketted out
I'm sat here trying to string out a woefully under researched beckett essay into 3000 words of passable waffle when it occurred to me that maybe i'm just all becketted out. For those of you who don't know, Reading University will soon play host to the very first performance of First Love which is a new play based off a beckett short story and his own notes on how he would convert it to a play. It's being directed by walter asmus (worlds leading beckett director, apparently the only one old sam ever agreed with) and me, Steve, Alex and ian are the entire tech crew for it. Last night we spent 4 hours rigging all the lights for it (god bless bob kayley studio theatre, it would have taken a month in Myra!) and at 3.30 today its back to lay the floor cloth and dance floor, paint the floorcloth, extend the seating (trying not to leave any more gaping holes in the floor) and focus the lights. So my days are filled writing about beckett and my nights are filled worrying about ow becektt would have staged First Love.

Maybe I'll go to town...
