Loved your piece on the Edinburgh fringe, felt like i was there flyering in your place. We were all booked to take Bed 13 to the fringe. We did some fundraising (quiz nights, a musical soirée!). But everything, the venue, registration, flyers, accommodation (for cast and crew of 10) cost a small fortune. I spent hours working out sums on scraps of paper. It always involved the total outlay already committed (without props, costume, travel, food, drink etc) against different hypothetical audience sizes. We needed to be at least half full (25 people) every night just to break even. I had a single recrring dream of us performing in the venue with a single person.in the front row - who left half way through. When covid put paid to the fringe i was hugely disappointed. But also hugely relieved. Think we dodged a (financial) bullet.
Looking forward to your Barbie review. Went to see ir with my 34 year old daughter who, to my feminist shame, had loads of Barbies and a pink horse and carriage. One day i went into her bedroom to find her doing the thing in the film with the scissors and the felt tipped pens. She looked up at me a bit guiltily but i felt so proud of her! Re the film, we had some crticisms, but we laughed A LOT.
Yeah the costs involved can be crazy. I was told by my agent I ‘had’ to have a promotions team and they were charging 5 figures! I felt sick sitting in a meeting with them wondering how I’d ever pay it back. I told a really obvious lie to get out of there.
So glad you liked BARBIE. I felt the same ~ enjoyed it but felt conflicted about certain aspects. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on it.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ thoroughly enjoyed and yet marvelled on how brutally honest you are with yourself and your journey!
More of this please, as creatives only seem to show the shiny side and it’s boring if not fake.
reflection is growth right?
Keep up the awesome work, I’ll share on my socials and rich people dem please pledge your support!
Oh there’s no point in sugar coat this journey, the humours in the ridiculousness of it all!
As always, you’re a great cheerleader to have in my corner....LOOK, there she is high kicking those great legs of hers! 💃🏿
