Also my whole cast has covid now (I am surprisingly negative but have a sore throat) and I think I did a superspreader by licking the envelopes of everyone’s thank you cards on the last day

Am thoroughly missing the very toxic lesbian couple from my play (they’ll be back, trust!!) For those that missed it… read the absolutely glowing review of the show here: theatreview.org.nz/production/pre…

“A challenging journey medicated with humour, humanity, sex, drugs, and (suitably mellow) rock n roll” (the rock n roll in question being Split Enz, Crowded House, and The Exponents hahahah) Oh I am sooooo thrilled with this review

No matter how tame I think my plays are, there’s always one scene (or two) that my whole cast and crew know as (our exact words) “THAT scene” (lots of emphasis on the THAT)

Am gonna have to make the difficult decision of whether I say hi to all the punters before the all the shows, or whether I hide up in the God Box and don’t show myself until afterwards

On vocal rest because I am officially letting go of the show and handing it to my producer/stage manager 🧘‍♀️ This may be one of many wake-up calls for me to quit smoking, and to run my mouth a bit less

Thought my play was relatively tame compared to my last one, but… there is one scene that may ruffle a few feathers

Dad’s more chill than my mum bc at least he’s a “grrrrrr the economy.. let me get tax cuts on my three houses” conservative, and not a “GOD HATES GAYS AND ABORTION!!” conservative.. but do we reckon he would go to bat for me if I told him “hey can you bin that before Mum sees it??!”

I think taking the bi flag pin off my handbag before meeting her was a bit redundant… anyway that is on me because the North Shore National-voter grandmas aren’t exactly my target market

Was kind of predicting that would happen bc she’s always cutting out newspaper clippings for me and always gets that magazine…. LOLLLLLL surprise!!!!!! It’s my queer play!!!!!! Happy pride month 😀😀😀😀😀😀

Just remembered to remove it before having lunch with my grandmother, and hoping that I don’t accidentally mention my play- which opens tomorrow.. (Okay at least she’s more of an “I don’t know any better” conservative than a fundamentalist christian one like my mum..)

Our youngest cast member seeing the flag pin on my handbag: “WHO HERE IS BISEXUAL???!!!!😮😮😮😮🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯” ….maybe the one who wrote the play about heterosexual and homosexual couples (Don’t worry young grasshopper… your gaydar will soon develop)
