Dennis Kelly

Like, I left school and then I messed around doing jobs that I hated for about, you know, I don't know, working in shops and working in markets and stuff like this and, you know, various different things for probably until I was about 30, you know.

So by the time I was doing writing, I think they, you know, they would have either given up on me or stopped worrying about me, one or the other, you know.

And then I think at first –

They didn't, you know, you start off doing a play above a pub and they sort of see it's a bit of a thing, but slowly it gathers sort of steam, you know.

But I knew that they had accepted it when I went home and I saw a picture of me and Tim with the Matilda girls.

I think it was at the Olivier's or something cut out and stuck on the wall.

Like, and I was like, it was a strange moment.

It was like really lovely that she was proud.

But I was also thinking, what's Tim doing in my house?

Like, why have you got a picture of Tim Minchin in my house?

Yeah, I'd take it, yeah.

I'd really like to.

Energy Theatre.

I keep saying to my wife that we've got to go over.

You should.
