I'm on the hunt now. Reading and reading prospective material for next year's Festival. I've re-read Pugilist Specialist to check I do actually still like it (I do).

And I've just finished Cockroach by Sam Holcroft. I should like to say that Brian is half right. I do quite love it. It's a great script. Though I'm not certain that I quite understood it.

But the practicalities of finding five young people who look like they are approx 15 or 16 I reckon, one of whom is black and two of whom are willing to expose - shall we say - sensitive personal areas is daunting to my unimaginative mind.

I shall save it for the day that the group receives a sudden influx of the exhibitionist young.
