You can shamble on stage and just read from some cue cards, you know, it's kind of, you can do whatever.
You can be, you can do a sort of insane sort of modernist experiment or you can do a brilliant memorised performance.
It kind of doesn't matter.
There's a sort of
spectrum there but I do think it's always it's always a kind of performance I think like when I started writing it was for one of my college friends Tom is here somewhere who we had like a fortnightly kind of scratch night in the basement of a pub in Exeter where we were students and we would write
monologues and scripts and they would be performed you know we'd every two weeks script in hand so it would be very rough around the edges um and i never ever performed or read anything that the idea of it terrified me but i was like 1920 kind of thing so it was more a case of what can i make my friends say how convoluted a monologue can i give them that's
Sort of absurdly kind of over.
And that was really, that was as formative for me, I think, as like studying English in a way, because it's that sort of thing.
You see, there'd be a crowd of about 40 or so people and you'd see what landed, you'd see what didn't.
You'd make up your mind about whether you cared whether it landed or not.
You know, because I think we have sort of different natures as performers and as writers and as artists of any kind.
It's like, maybe I kind of want to piss people off.
Maybe I kind of want people to not like this.
That's hard.
I think that's a hard path.
I'm too insecure to do that.
But it's like, so if something made people laugh, that would be like, that's good.
That worked.
Even though that was sort of what I wanted to write and that was what I wanted to do, it's somehow connected.
Yeah, it does, it does.
