Day 25 - Musselburgh, The Brunton Theatre. Thurs 30th October

Struan had to get up dead early to put a ticket on the van. So I woke up and then went back to sleep. I slept in for my audition for Taggart. Audition at quarter to twelve. Woke up at ten past ten. Jumped in the shower, nearly knocked me over, ripping my face of - outrageous! Got lost a little trying to find the building. Then someone told me it was right in front of me. Did audition, quite strange, we’ll find out later. Got out at quarter past eleven. I wondered if they were still at hotel. Ran back and caught up with Struan. The others had to go back to Cumbernauld to pick up Random Dave’s phone. Struan and I were going straight to Edinburgh. We’d never been in a car in Glasgow before, to our credit we got out immediately. We are soooooo good.
When I got in the van, Alan Steele had left three Lord of the Ring books, companions to the film. He had also left a Jesus Christ Super Star tape, which I had wanted to hear. Listened to it full blast. Came across the bypass. We didn’t know were we were going. Got there.

Really nice Building (The Brunton). Parked. Went to a pub to have lunch with some of the others. Had a mixed grill – it was lovely. Did the get in, dead easy, fine. Did it ok. Went back to Edinburgh where we were staying. As soon as we came in I felt so… You know when you fall in love with a place. I have to move here. I didn’t realise how much I missed it. Went back to do the show. Went in the foyer. Couldn’t get into the theatre section, it was kind of locked. Told to hang on. Realised they might not know I was cast. It was almost the half. I was let through.

Did the show. My agent was in. Went well. She really enjoyed it. It was weird the sound was really muffled. No idea how many in. The sound just died, made the show seem really de-energised. The audience really enjoyed it though. Really excited 'cos we didn’t have to do the get out. Manager really loved it and put some wine in the bar for us. Went back into the centre of Edinburgh and met my mates. After, trundled down to The Liquid Room to meet Struan. Later, I left. I was trying my d*@%est to find food. Got home, called Struan. He came back with a couple of pot noodles and some Pringles and a Dairylee Lunchable. We randomly met Beth in the corridor and went back to her room were we met up with John Davidson and Lindsey. I decided I was going to my room, had my pot noodle and fell into my bed.
