So I know, it's been rather a long time since I've blogged, but in fairness I've been super busy...
I promised to write all about that amazing kaiseki meal I had in Yugawara with the calligrapher, and then I was busy for a lot of May and June with Titus and Valkyries and various other things going on in Tokyo, and then I went to Stratford and Dublin and Greece and Helsinki and should probably have blogged about that.
Then in August I moved back to Tokyo and spent the time I shoulda been blogging moving from the asylum in Soshigaya to a new (wonderful) place in Tama Plaza and joined a gym. So spent even less time at the PC. And then I went to Osaka to see Madonna, then saw her in Tokyo (for which many kudos to the Mexican for finding all the tickets) and then went travelling around Japan with a friend visiting from home.
Then I directed my Beckett performance in association with the Irish Embassy, and also worked on Ninagawa's Orestes and Tango at the End of Winter, and then had the hideous task of moving back to Ireland and starting my new job there.
That was all only three weeks ago, but it feels like far far longer. I have seen a ridiculous number of plays since coming back, including Measure for Measure, Festen, Dream of Autumn, School for Scandal, Hamletmachine, Anna Karenina, and a host of others, and I'm now in Budapest thanks to Rough Magic, learning all about Hungarian theatre.
Shall blog about Budapest later. Just wanted y'all to know that I'm back in action...
