A THREE THING DAY
2025
Ben has three things to do today.
A show is opening
later, but first he has a family meeting, and before that there’s a funeral.
A single day can encompass
the past, present and future; friends, family and strangers; the ridiculous,
the moving and the inspirational.
Like life.
A
Three Thing Day was inspired by one of those busy days we all have
every now and then, where we've got to be different places, meet
different people and do different things. I completed the scrip in late
2024 and did an informal reading at the Hen and Chickens, with the first
public reading at The Bookseller Crow in Crystal Palace in late January
2025. And the preparations for the Edinburgh fringe began.
Andy Lane took some
brilliant photos at the Barbican on a winter Saturday morning and
Stephany Ungless created a fantastic triptych design for the poster and
flyer. Simon Oakes set to composing a set of stunning music pieces for
the show, and I got on with learning the script.
After another reading at The Laugharne Weekend in late March, the first
Work In Progress stage performance was at Colchester Arts Centre in
April, followed by other WiPs at Machynlleth and Exeter Comedy
Festivals.
