I'm still hoarse as a dry-throated snake in the desert today so resorted to emailing a nagging email to this super-organised agent.

The early booking deadline for the Fringe programme is 2 April which saves the best part of a hundred squids. So I'm keen to submit my info by then - but less keen if I don't have a play.

I checked back through my email correspondence. I got an email from this guy at the agent's office on 16 March passing my details onto someone who would deal with the paperwork. Still haven't heard anything.

I tell you, if we did business this way, we'd soon have next to no clients.
