An alarming number of people are registering interest in this one act play that I'm proposing. I feel vaguely intimidated by it as I have never known such pre-audition excitement for something I've been involved in. Already I feel the sinking stomach of dread at having to phone people and say they are not cast. I suppose alternatively I just head into it regardless with a cast of thousands.

Mind you, actors being actors, they're most likely full of fork-tongued promises that in reality, will come to nothing...
