Yesterday I found out that a group I have seen perform several times will no longer be able to perform at their normal venue. The Lowestoft Players have performed at The Marina Theatre for several years and it’s certainly a great venue for an amateur theatre group.
Over the years I have memorised more lines than I ever thought I had room for in my brain. But it appears that there is one word that I have never learnt to use: the simple word no. Let me explain. The most recent occasion of not using the word was sitting in London having lunch with The Editor of Amateur Stage Magazine. He thought it would be great if I had a regular column in the magazine, musing on the world in general and theatre in particular. At the time it seemed like an excellent idea, if Doris can do it then so can I. But, of course, here I am sitting in front of a blank computer screen wondering what on earth I’m going to write about. I can’t even think of a title for the column, perhaps you, dear reader, can help there. If only I had used the no word!
