It's Sunday evening and I've just about caught up on sleep, after spending a week cavorting round the National Theatre Studio with Hugh Hughes.
It was a real honour to watch Hugh working. I was a huge Hoipolloi fan and a devoted Hugh Hughes groupie well before I joined the company and I still have moments where I can't believe I'm on the inside, rather than in the audience.
The performers spent much of the week improvising for hours on end, which took us to some pretty strange places... The week's work threw up so many new ideas that it's hard to know where to begin sorting through them!
Here are some photos I took: in the first one Hugh is an IRA terrorist (obviously), in the second he's playing a magician who's just chopped his own hands off and the last one is Hugh sitting at the top of a hill with Wendy the aubergine (his girlfriend) showing her the town of Llangefni. Reality seems a little banal in comparison!
