Hello.

My second ever play, MICHAEL GROVES, was staged at Chapter Arts Centre last July. Having previously written a piece about relationships (MAGNETS) I wanted to do try something more experimental. Following the performance (and feedback that covered the entire spectrum of enjoyment levels!), I put the development of the piece on hold, choosing to start something new and return to it with fresh eyes.

I completely forgot that Viv Thomas filmed the first night, and, having recently met with him, he urged me to see the footage.

So, here it is: http://vimeo.com/10075503

The first bit, anyway... It's shot in HD so you may need quite a fast broadband connection (processor?) to view it but if you can view it I'd really appreciate any comments. If you can't view it, please let me know, too!

Part Two will follow next week.

Many thanks!

Neil.

p.s. I've also noticed an entirely different "feel" viewing it on film. Not sure why it should be any different but again your thoughts would be
appreciated.
