"Acting is a masochistic form of exhibitionism. It is not quite the occupation of an adult."
Lord Olivier of Ham
What happens when in two consecutive years you 'take part' in 2 corruscating immersive pieces at the Edinburgh Fringe - Internal by Ontroerend Goed (2009) and The Author by Tim Crouch (2010) . Unresolved feelings fester and the cauldron of psychological personal theatre mixes with your thoughts , memories and life and can putrefy into unhealed psycho-dramatic 'wounds'. Who am I what am I feeling is my 'normal life' a fraud ?
At this year's Edingburgh Fringe by means of a magical theatrical wormhole in Adrian Howell's ' May I Have the Pleasure' followed by the brilliant Ontroerend Goed's The Audience reconciliation was finally and resolutely achieved and the two pieces now sit happily in my memory - it's only theatre though after all - it's only your life - for nothing remains in the end and the show must go on.
