Skipped Philosophy to print programs...Sustainable Development continues to make me wish I'd done biology, though I know all the species/ecosystems stuff is only 1/4 of the subject. First show went well, about 30 people. Sort of our peer presentation more than a real show--that's Thursday and Friday (where hopefully we'll sell out 200 tickets). Still, payed for all the costs of the show, its all $$ or rather ££ from now on in my production company. Odd feeling. Not sure what I would, or rather will, do with expendable money for theatre. The show itself went well, not perfectly, but it was good seeing an audience's reactions. As with anything like this, I feel there's a "what the fuck?" period before acceptance of the style, then really getting into the story and actions. Robbie and his girlfriend came over after and had good things to say, which was really nice. Actors felt good, I think. I really want to start a full-on movement toward experimental theatre. Alternative Mermaids, of some sort. Tomorrow should be a day of rest and finishing my SD presentation. But hopefully, I will mostly play The Witcher and sit on my ass.
Feel very much like writing again. I think I need to read more fiction. Even in my spare time, I've been reading non-fiction for fun. And knowing stuff is a lot of fun, but it doesn't give me impetus to create. Let's see what the library has...

Soft Night
silent graffiti
sprawling words stretched out on cream pink walls
spattered from on high by the seagulls
that freewheeled and caw-cawed through aharsh pink sky
still graffiti
a motionless oasis
in violence, silent. calm,
but eagerly longing for discovery:
notice me!
here! I am out of place
no whitewashed walls
a monument TO MAN’S INGENUITY
no pyramids of the metropolis
only the loving work of boys
somewhere between testament and confession
they who posses nothing
but are the property of adults
spray themselves out on other adult property
this is mine! until the paint
is covered by another layer
dogs piss at a fire hydrant
silent graffiti
crackling ground under Nikes
and from
far off
the whirr of sirens.

Glad to hear opening went well. Bring home some video when you come!
Love the addition of the world clocks! Reminds me of a BBC miniseries we watched recently (called "Longitude") about a carpenter who become a clockmaker who became the first to build a clock that kept accurate time on ship (as determined by the reference clocks at the Greenwich observatory that we saw). The historical part was great; the conceit of tying it to the modern world was less effective.
Congrats on your show, Bri. Good for you.
I'm glad it's gone well Brian. bring on the experimental theatre! Anytime you want to put on some Sam Becket (which is perhaps no longer experimental but is definitely not traditional) in my lovely little theatre then let me know.
Hopefully will come and see it tomorrow.
