and my bleeding fingers.


OK, they’re not bleeding per se. But they hurt. OK...they don’t even hurt all that much....



Anyway, welcome to my website. The name comes from an old theatre motto that I have held as my own personal mantra.


You can have it good, quick and cheap, but you only get to pick two.


Good and Cheap: it won’t be Quick.


Good and Quick: it won’t be Cheap


Cheap and Quick: It won’t be good...well,you be the judge.


As always, this isn’t a hard and fast rule, but it truly encapsulates my feeling that theatre takes time. It takes hard work. It takes commitment.

 

welcome to the world as seen through my eyes...
