Community

But much better was Tim Crouch's I Peaseblossom, a version of Midsummer Night's Dream from the point of view of one of its lesser characters, the fairy Peaseblossom - who only gets one word in Shakespeare's play. A brilliant one man show full of humour, ingenuity, emotion and engagement with the audience (I 'played' Demetrius). And all at 10 o'clock in the morning.

Third and last day of the regional meeting. We ended it in Thiong Baru, one of the oldest housing estates in Singapore, and where Joe Lawlor and Christine Malloy (Desperate Optimists) are shooting one of their Civic Life films. It's a great place, gorgeous art deco housing, lively food court and a wonderful sense of community. Said goodbye to my team, possibly for the last time in some cases. Here we are on the steps of the community centre.
