Right now, according to the tour schedule, Hugh Hughes is up in the air, somewhere between South Carolina and Minneapolis.
Maybe he's listening to the CD I made him before he left. Or maybe he and Aled are having a chat and looking out of the window at the view. Behind them is the wonderful Spoleto Festival. Ahead, more performances of Story of a Rabbit at the Walker Center, Minneapolis.
Story of a Rabbit received its USA premiere two weeks ago. And Hugh and Aled have just waved a cheery goodbye to all the friends they made at Spoleto Festival in South Carolina. Spoleto is an annual arts festival, which programmes an incredible range of classical and contemporary theatre, dance and music.
Hugh and Aled were delighted to have been billed alongside their good friends, 1927, as well as fellow Britons Kneehigh, who have been performing their production of Don John.
Story of a Rabbit has been a huge hit with USA audiences, with some very warm reviews coming in. The Charleston SC Newspaper's review describes the show as one "that links the audience together with laughter, song and tears" whilst the Charleston City Paper enthuses, "you're going to be talking about how inventive and charming it is for the rest of the festival."
Story of a Rabbit will receive three final USA performances at the Walker Art Center this week, from Thursday 28th to Saturday 30th May at 8pm.

I am just floored by the performance I saw last night...I bought my ticket on line and honestly thought I was buying a front row seat. well, My seat was back in row N. So I asked the usher if the show was sold out, and if not could I move to the front. She said "No problem". That never happens! Then I happened to have the ticket with a T on it! And you know what that means. Thank you, thank you, just lovely. More perfect for me than you could imagine. I am a baby performance artist. Not even emerging yet, so I feel very lucky to have seen Mr. Hughes' work from the front row, AND to have been served a lovely cup of EG by him...I will be watching and following very closely! Thank you!
