Intelligent Life magazine asked the women of the acting company 'Which decade of fashion best suits you?' If they'd asked me, I would have said the 1930s. Give me a pair of high-waisted pleated trousers that gently billow towards the shoe, and I'm a happy camper.

Today was my theatrical bar-mitzvah-by-fire. In a public understudy run I played Dromio of Syracuse and Dromio of Ephesus in the RST. I went from being the actor with the fewest lines in The Comedy of Errors to the one with the most.

This week we went back to Twelfth Night. We haven't done a run of the play in three weeks. Luckily, the time away from the play didn't feel like a hindrance; it allowed the play to simmer in our minds, and for the ideas to mature.
