Shakespeare in a Suitcase has been rolling for a few years at the RSC. When it was announced that the YPS King Lear would tour America it seemed a good time to take out the old suitcase, dust it down, open it up, give it a shake and a clean and refill it with King Lear.

In the wings, there're two lights on the roof. One's lit, in cherry red and one's about to come on, in highlighter pen green. If I took two steps in my wellington boots, I'd be next to one of the ushers.

It's cold. Waking up this morning, I had to fight off a thousand urges to stay wrapped up in bed. Instead, I peel the warm duvet off me and roll out of bed onto the cold carpet and into the shower. I promise myself that I'll forget all about my safe linen cocoon once I've splashed the water on. I feel great now.

The last time I was in Cardiff a slightly (read 'extremely') drunken reveller who I had just met, propositioned me with one of the most bare faced, filthy chat up lines I think I have ever heard. I was outraged. I was disgusted. I was apalled. I have never forgotten her.

Well, press night is fast approaching. We're all beginning to work our way out of the initial shock of the first previews and into something a little more comfortable.

New York, New York. If Edmund can make it here, he'll make it anywhere.

Thus Paul Copley comes to the end of his first speech of the storm scene, a spine-tingling and majestic growl to which we have become accustomed over the past few months.

First of all, I'm gonna kick off this blog by saying 'sorry'. Sorry that I've neglected you all for the last two months. The show has been all-consuming and (stupidly) once I missed a glut of blogs – I soon found it difficult to catch up.
