just back from short n sweet... yr piece really quite fun... had nice visuals, buxom white clad girls w/out masks voice tempting/taunting guy in black, sometimes real & sometimes not... v fascinating mesmerizing voices... want to know though, how he physically managed to cut off both his hands... one hand I can imagine... but both???

(and I really really really hated hated hated how they did my piece so voted for '4 seconds' and told everyone I saw to vote for either that or your piece...)
hope you having a gd time!

okay... I've pulled my piece out of short n sweet now... after throwing massive tantrums over how director changed my lines/changed my character names/changed name of baby to come/ removed ending twist (--cos it spoilt continuity... how else do you define a twist???) and paraphrased my deliberate verbal convolutions to make them understandable... yishie, you were smart to submit yr piece & leave the country--hate the fact you're not here suffering too--of course you might actually like what they did with yr play... you are coming back, aren't you?

oh yeowch... yeah, that does sound problematic. how much experience as a director does lionel have anyway?

comms have definitely been an issue in this installment of short and sweet. my director was at one point told that I was an uncontactable American.

will have plenty to tell you about if you want to get coffee when i return on the 30th.
