A fabulous week in Guildford ended with another blazing performance on Saturday night – with a perfect audience who drank it up. This play is such an extraordinary story to perform. I’ve rarely encountered a role like Skellig: it just keeps surprising you: on Thursday I finally worked out how to say the final line of Act 1, something which has elluded me all this time… We have been blessed with the most wonderful cast who have kept it gloriously alive throughout the tour and we approach our London in excellent form. This week we are all staying together in a large house in Brecon – which seemed like it could have been one of those ‘good ideas’ back in rehearsals! – but which we’re all thoroughly looking forward to. It promises to be a wonderful way to end our travels around Britain.
