The show is going pretty well. In fact, it's going significantly better than my weightloss programme and general state of health. Thankfully the roles I play are those of thin healthy people, so I can act feeling well and looking ok. So far this act appears to have worked. My voice has held up through three nights so far and I have a further four shows through which to maintain the pretence that I don't feel dead.

I'm thoroughly enjoying this production. Can't wait to get into the next thing. Can someone remind me why I almost completely stopped acting/performing after I left school? I'm sure there must have been a very good reason for it, but I've no idea what it was!
