Hiya

Just a reminder about our rehearsed reading of The Bad One on Friday. It would be great to get as many people there as possible. We’re hoping to get some really lively debates going around some of the key themes of the play and we’re particularly interested in looking at our left and right brains. For your reference,

• right brain uses feeling, imagination, and belief,

• and left brain forms strategies, is good at words and language, and is reality based.

Are you left or right brain dominant? Are you a Heidi or a Jackie?

Look forward to seeing you all, just drop us a line to let us know you’re coming
