20th January 2010

I arrived home early this evening after a fantastic trip to London to watch the opening night of Six Degrees of Separation at the Old Vic, in which Tony is starring. I LOVED the production. The set is stunning, the writing is brilliant and everyone was outstanding. Of course I am biased but I am also honest and wouldn’t rave about something I didn’t enjoy. We had a wonderful night catching up with old friends at the first night party – some of whom I hadn’t seen for over twenty years - including the brilliant Janine Duvitski who starred in the television production of one of my all time favourite plays, Abigail’s Party. I had mentioned Janine in my mother’s Eulogy last year (it’s a long and funny story) and it was so lovely to see her again. It is weird how so many people keep cropping up from our National Theatre days.

Obie Abili, who plays Paul in the play, is definitely going to be a very successful actor and he has the nicest personality too. I really can’t be doing with those actors/actresses who think that being rude to everyone, and that behaving like a petulant child is an appropriate way to behave. Fortunately we do not come across too many of them. So watch this space as I have a feeling he is going to become very well known.
