Just when you think it can't get any better, you get invited to LA for the premiere of PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN in Disneyland! Which is taking place on the same weekend you're going to Buckingham Palace! Don't you just love it when two things come along at once!

The theatre conference was excellent. The debate itself on Freedom of Speech could have gone on all day - it was fascinating. The director Peter Sellars was truly inspirational - he has such a wealth of experience in the field that his ideas for approaching difficult subjects was a text book guide of HOW TO DO IT and HOW NOT TO DO IT! I was lucky to hear his ideas first hand.

Canterbury this week. Will just have to cope with more countryside, castles and cathedrals! A tough job but someone has to...
