ABC
Up at 4.30 a.m. yesterday to get to a TV interview on ABC. The Yellow Cab driver, a guy from up North with greasy hair and a weasel face, complained about his dispatcher all the way to the station. ‘He likes to pick on the new guys. There’s only one kind of drivin’ he’s good at – drivin’ staff away to other companies. He hasn’t seen what a kid I am till he picks on me. Then I’ll show him how much of a kid I can be…’
At the interview, I was only slightly more coherent than the weatherman (I guess he’d prefer ‘meteorologist’) Justin Lock who, like me, was obviously not a fan of early mornings. The P.A.s at ABC start work at midnight, putting the early morning program together. By the time I was awake they were ready to get to their beds.
The rest of the day was a rush of promotion, backstage work, rehearsal and preparation for our first night in Charleston, SC tonight. I can only hope that the show will work as well here as in Savannah – the actors’ performances have improved and they have found new nuances in every rehearsal. It’s amazing to think what they could accomplish in a longer run.
