We did some really useful work today. Useful work often means taking a scapel to the text. In this case the morning started with Ruth visiting sex worker John. Her relationship is breaking down, as Mark, her partner, is caught up in the underbelly of web-porn and cybersex. Tina and Mat had found a really beautiful and sensitive quality for the scene, the last time we look at it, but the writing was putting up real barriers, preventing them from re-finding this. There was a lot of superflous material which made the character of Ruth dance around her need for the encounter. It was padded writing, relating more to how I was feeling on the day that it was written than the truth of the scene, trying to be clever and funny, rather than gentle and soulful - so chop chop.

Here's the latest rehearsal VLOG. This is a snippet of the cyber sex scene between Mark and Janet, played by Nick Chambers and Nuala Walsh. Apologies in advance - we moved into the studio today and consequently the sound is a little unruly.

This video contains srong, explicit language.

Cracking day. Some lovely work was done.

I had a bit of strange start trying out some very new material. I need to write a last scene so I put together some new ideas with a piece of script from an early draft, a scene that I had deleted. It was terrible - the writing was awful. It's important to try stuff but oh dear! I began cringing after about the second line. It was so wrong. Back to the drawing board on that scene.

The rest of the day was perfect working on the Harry with Janet scene and the Janet with Mark scene. It was amazing. Tragic and then funny. It was a real pleasure working with everyone. The performances were really eye popping and heart stopping.

In this video the company discuss the process.
