Rehearsals Start on Monday

Rehearsals start on Monday for my new play Different Buttons, about the history of St. Clements Mental Hospital in Ipswich.
After a casting re-jig....it's been decided that Jimmy Grimes will play the part of Bobby. I'm really excited about this. Jimmy is an incredible actor and my long term collaborator (and adopted son).
All week, the actors having been emailing me great questions about the script...it's a very emotional play and it's going to be a big challenge for everyone...I'll write a bit about each day's rehearsal here and hope some people will find it interesting. I'll also post some photos....
