So comically, what's proving time-consuming is not the rehearsing bit though that obviously takes time.

Not rehearsing via a screen though that's obviously weird.

But fankling around trying to sort all the backstage stuff out. And that's just the tickets. 

Stupid things keep occurring to me.

Like maybe it's a good idea if you link the ticket buying to your little website, in case anyone ever finds it. 

And then I realise that while I've painstakingly updated all the JustGiving pages (we want to give any donations people want to make in exchange for a ticket to charity) but haven't bothered to update the text about the show on the self-same little website. 

Then I nervously realise that I haven't written anything on my beloved blog for a couple of weeks AGAIN as I've been so busy fankling around with tickets.

I guess this is why people have producers.
