Classes

As you may be aware, the ad I placed was probably not worded correctly, and I had to change it after it started appearing in phone boxes all over London.

Hmmmm

You would not believe the call I just had. I may need to rewrite my ad.

I apologise for my tardiness in keeping you all updated with my activities, but the truth is I stepped in some butter and consequently have been out of action for some time.

Being at home, I decided to make use of my theatrical experience and actually give something back. I am a great believer in giving things back; almost to an obsessive level. I recall, while having lunch with Joan Hickson, she offered me one of her delicious saute potatoes. Yes, it was delicious. Yes, it melted in the mouth giving the superb texture of potato and spices. She smiled winsomely as I masticated in front of her. Sadly, my attempt to share my soup resulted in a less satisfactory outcome and considerable costs in dry cleaning. Old Joan swore like a docker, and attacked me with a cake stand. It truely became out of hand, and I can only refer to the statement I gave to the Police.

It all blew over after several years, and Joan and I worked together in Joan of Arc - The Musical, although there was an incident with a pyke which left me unable to sit down.

Where was I? Ah yes, working from home. It's delightful having the talent and ability to work from home. I don't know why I haven't tried it before. Actually, to be brutal, I have. Although performing all the roles in "What Became Of Larry Grint?", the gritty, social drama about the crimelords and subtefuge of prohibition in the 1930s world of Luton, in front of a captive audience. I personally did a fine crime lord, probably the best I have done. Fish never appreciate theatre.

I think though I have a lot to offer in terms of teaching younger actors. Method, motivation, characterisation. I can utilise the spare room at the rear of the house which is unfurnished. It may be a small utility room, but there is enough room for vocal training. I don't want parents bringing their brats around; I want people who have made the decision to act. So only college people only.

I have place the following ad in The North Athcot Argus

"Accomplished actor seeks to guide his method into younger performers. 18+. With my extensive experience I intend to turn your little acorn into a thick, hard oak. Plant your seed in my fertile little back room. Also aural service offered. Call XXX XXXX."

I don't know why I hadn't thought of this before.
