The World According to Me

Hell hath no fury...
Mood:  incredulous
Now Playing: MY Medea Soundtrack...
So it seems that, as well as there being a new Conor Hanratty in Trinity (the horror!), the new young queen of the drama department is directing Medea next term.

A rational approach to this admittedly slight crisis would be to accept that a) I am no longer in the same continent or timezone, or indeed a student of Trinity, and b) I did not write the play.

But still...

It seems that we really are moving on, to bigger and brighter things. It`s almost exactly two years since The Bacchae. I now live in Tokyo. The lady who played my Medea is now a married lady living in Los Angeles... For some reason I have the opening words from Days of our Lives in my head...

Which brings me back to what I actually wanted to mention - thanks to technology I have been able to see a good few episodes of "Joey", which in spots extremely funny - none moreso than the sporadic appearances of the AWESOME and MAGNIFICENTly trashy Jennifer Coolidge as his agent.

Gotta go - have nice theatre-loving teacher this morning, and must wow her with tales of the enormously popular film star/thetre director I met last week and will be meeting again soon. (Shall blog about it soon and wow you too...)

And by the way, without wanting to sound like Mrs. Jason herself, I wish PC all the very best with the show, and hope he has as much fun with it as we did.

Coming in the next episode, "Surprised by Cinnamon" - the Setagaya Public Theatre incident, Cortney`s birthday, and preparations for the arrival of Team Hanratty in Tokyo...
