Opening night was terrific. Strange though that even after all those years in this bizz and the number of times doing this show an opening night anywhere still induces that dry mouthed and quickened heart-beat state of nerves – But, great support from the FTA people – as usual the technician’s here are top quality and all the support staff incredibly friendly – putting even our fave theatres in the UK to shame in terms of welcome and ‘can-do’ attitude. There was a bit of a do after the show and we felt confident from what was said that the show had gone well – indeed it had clearly moved some people hugely. It was also great to be reminded of that extraordinary Canadian ease and friendliness which means we’re already on chat terms with the people in the coffee shop, the pita house and have been invited to parties both tonight and tomorrow…
Our mates Kevin and Catherine – who used to billet us during our fringing days – took us and DonnaLee out for a sushi dinner last night - what a dream treat. So from panic and stress of the journey we’re now basking in the delights of all that Edmonton has to offer. AND loving doing the show too…for all this relief much thanks.

Hi Gill & Bill
Had just tried to send you a long comment full of empathy but it wouldn't go, so I'll precis it this time! Sorry to hear you had such travel horrors, hope it didn't turn you white haired over night! The last thing one needs is Airline or immigration horrors; the actual event has its own level of built-in stress factors, the rest are unwarranted. Your blog diary is beautifully written and graphic, hope your run is going well now, and the outward nightmare is but a memory. Our love
to both. Ruth
