At last, the teenagers are back from holiday. Between them, they were probably away for the total holiday period. (Must remember not to do shows with young people...)

Alan, co-director, is amazingly versatile as an actor but even his skills are stretched thin as a 14 year old stage school brat. And my presentation of Brad The Lad was nothing but ludicrous. So I'm glad they back.

And they all aced it last night at the rehearsal. I'm a little worried they shall steal all the glory from the grown people who've been patiently working away for three months. The young person's prerogative, I suppose.
