thanks for all the lovely comments. just an update. I was in HK over christmas and new year. New years was actually spent at the alive not dead new years party.... Good food, good times. I love the idea of working more in HK yet the industry seems difficult to break in. I had a radio play which aired in London on BBC Radio 4 on the 1st of Jan in the new year which was exciting.

Now I am in the full swing of rehearsals in London. The show is Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. It is set in Japan where we are running around in Kimono and ....ballet shoes :b. My main character is Hermia. Whom the guys Lysander and Demetrius fight over until they are put under a spell by a forest spirit Puck. The show has been cut down to 90 minutes so is fast and active. We also have 2 wonderful Japanese actors who play Titania and Oberon. They will be speaking in Japanese and English so it is a bilingual production. I feel so lucky. I have been in bilingual shows with cantonese /mandarin and english. My last Shakespeare show King Lear was performed in Shanghai. But I never thought I would get to take part in a Japanese production. It is truly an honour. And it is fascinating to take on the japanese theatrical culture, however little given the short time we have to rehearse. We have 3 weeks to put together all costume, dance, physical theatre and play. But the actors and production team are pulling together well. I did some research into this play by watching the Japanese version of King Lear - Kurosawa's 'RAN' . I took alot from it and was very much inspired by the fool in the film. M planning to base one of my characters on him. But also there is one of the most insane, hilarious and creepy scenes in it. Just look out for the crazy woman who plans to murder and then spends a minute laughing her head off and running around the room before making love to her victim.... It will all make sense if u watch it.....
Well this is it for me. If anyone is in London this Febuary, come and see the play. Details below! till next time!

Southwark Playhouse presents
William Shakespeare
February 4th 2009 - February 28th 2009
Show starts: 7.30pm
Running time: 90 mins
Don’t get caught in the fairy crossfire!
Southwark Playhouse re-imagines Shakespeare’s most magical play in Samurai Japan, bringing the mysticism of the East to the atmospheric cellars beneath London Bridge Station.
Inspired by the delights of Japanese Kabuki dance, the grace of Noh theatre and the comedy of knockabout Kyogen clowns this Midsummer Night’s Dream will create a world where the charmed and the charming co-exist.
Packed into 90 minutes this production will combine vibrant verse, striking physical imagery and ensemble performances to breathe life into this most mischievous of plays.
Directed by, innovative British Chinese director Jonathan Man, this year’s winner of the Better Bankside Shakespeare Award.
