It was announced yesterday to the cast that Robert Hardy, who plays Churchill, (better than ANYBODY else), is to retire from the The Audience. DAMN & BLAST !!!!!
One of my reasons for doing the show was to be on the same stage as him. I suppose that has happened. I have acted, sort of, with Sir Winston Hardy, (or is it Sir Robert Churchill?), and that is something. My Darling Dad did too, many decades ago. My Dad played Hamlet and Robert (Tim, to those close) played the Player King, I think at Drury Lane, very briefly, before going on tour around America with the OUDS production. The Oxford University Dramatic Society. Directed by the extraordinary Ken Tynan. In many ways Tim reminds me of my Dad, in his acting. We have chatted about both my parents in such a lovely way that they have felt very close during these last few weeks. I am so grateful for that.

I wish I had been able to keep you all up to date with recent events. Time has been rather pushed and when I have had a moment a computer hasn't always been at hand. SO. THE AUDIENCE.
If any of you get the chance to come and watch it, DO. It has some really fabulous performances in it. Spearheaded by the HEAVENLY HELEN. Sounds silly, but I am still looking for the chink in this woman's armour. She's wonderful. She is a spectacular actress. AND she's human.

This year Nat takes part in the National Doodle Day fundraiser after his last doodle in 2012! National Doodle Day aims to get everyone doodling to raise money for Epilepsy Action.
National Doodle Day is run by the charity. In 2004 the first ever Doodle Day was launched to help raise funds and awareness of two little known and often misunderstood medical conditions.
National Doodle Day has been supported by a great number of celebrities from the world of television, radio, theatre, sport and the arts over the last years. All of this year's celebrity doodles will be auctioned via eBay to celebrate and support Doodle Day.
