Woke around 0800. Tea and porridge. Slowly got my act together. Left Aki behind…awaiting the arrival of chums from Exeter…and drove into Penzance to buy batteries from Sainsbury’s only to discover they didn’t open until 1100. Picked up a coffee and drove to Minack, stopping at the convenience store in St Buryan to buy batteries, and a pasty for later. Got to the theatre for 1045 and the start of a long day’s tech and dress rehearsal. Broke at 1400 for a 30 minute lunch break. Slow going! The director getting increasingly exasperated with the less disciplined members of the cast! Limped through to the end of Act 2 by 1730 and took a break…I took my pasty up to the car park and ate whilst listening to the news on R4. Dress rehearsal went up on time at 1930 in front of a handful of Minack staff members. They seemed enthusiastic. Still some bits need ironing out. Got changed quickly and headed up the hill to jump into the car and drive back to Mousehole…in the dark. Took a circuitous route which gave me some time on the A30, and took me back via Newlyn…felt the most comfortable route given the driving conditions! Dan and Midori were readying for bed when I got in…managed a brief chat before I got in the bath…thoroughly knackered!
