So it’s actually happening – and I can reveal where it’s actually happening…we are honoured to have been invited to perform THE MISTAKE in New York City at 59E59 Theaters as part of their annual Brits off Broadway season…we’ll be there from April 24^th to May 11^th (not Mondays), with post-show talkbacks after each Friday show.  I’d be so grateful if friends could spread the word, particularly to anyone you know Stateside.

We’ll arrive in New York City after half a dozen performances in other towns and in two universities. What a time to be in the States with this play – a play about the suffering caused to innocent lives by the devastation of war, about the dangers nuclear weapons pose to the world… 

In these ever more fragile times I cling to any rays of hope that I find.  Leo Szilard in THE MISTAKE has as his mantra, ‘the narrow margin of hope’ we must all maintain and believe in, and I think of Leonard Cohen’s ‘there is a crack in everything, that’s how the light gets in…’
