So, it’s actually happening – we are going to Japan…with THE MISTAKE…in September. Performing a bilingual version – with surtitles. For about 12 performances, in Tokyo, Tottori and with one in Hiroshima itself. That’s going to be quite a powerful and emotional experience, I’m predicting. It’s not been at all easy getting venues and performances set up in Japan. In the UK I know all about the touring circuit, in the US I had a number of contacts from my previous visit there, but for Japan I was pretty much starting from scratch. And of course for this 80th anniversary year there were many events already being organised there – especially in Hiroshima itself. But we have a tour in place now and we’ll be there for almost a month. However, guess what? – we also need a little bit more money to get us over the line, so I have set up one more Crowdfunding page. If you could share it with anyone you think would be interested in contributing, I’d be so grateful.

I’m sincerely hoping that this will be the last appeal I need to make for the foreseeable future! Thank you, as ever…
